LED dimmer for LED Sign
I need a flicker-free dimmer for an LED sign being used in a video. The FilmGrade dimmer looks like just what I need but I don't know if it will integrate into the existing hardware or if I need to order a new power supply and amplifier as well. The power supply is an HLG-320H-12A. The confusing thing to me is that there is a barrel connector for positive and negative output, rather than one single barrel connector. Max output is 22A, 12V. This feeds into an amplifier.
At this point, I don't need a remote control. I just need to be able to dim the sign and flicker-free by any means. I would simply buy the FilmGrade dimmer except I don't know if or how it would integrate into the existing setup (do I need to keep the amp? Do I need a smaller power supply to reach the 10A threshold of the FilmGrade dimmer?)
Electrically speaking, our flicker-free LED dimmer sounds like a great option and solution for you. As you've mentioned, however, the concern is with the maximum amperage. We do see that the power supply you currently have is rated at 22 amps. The 22 amp rating refers to the maximum capacity of the power supply, however, and it does not mean that the LED system is actually utilizing the full 22 amps.
As such, the next step in determining compatibility is to see what the amperage draw of the LED sign installation is. Typically, the LED sign supplier or the electrician who installed the system should be able to provide this information. Based on this finding, we would be able to further recommend next steps.
