What Is Electronic Low Voltage Dimmer?
Electronic Low Voltage (Elv) Dimmers Were Originally Designed to Control Electronic Low Voltage Transformers Used in Low Voltage (12V) Mr16 Type Fixtures. Also...

Also to know is, what is electronic low voltage?
ELV stands for Electronic Low Voltage. An ELV dimmer is known by a number of names. ELV dimmers are also called simply “electronic dimmers”, as well as “trailing edge dimmers”. An ELV dimmer works like this: the electrical load is turned off at the end, or trailing edge, of the Alternating Current (AC) waveform.
Also Know, what is a 0 10v dimmer? 0-10v dimming is a lighting control method that—on direct current voltage (DC) between 0 and 10 volts—can produce varying light intensity levels. With varying intensity levels, using a 0-10v dimmer allows you to choose what light level you require based on how you are using it in that moment.
Likewise, people ask, can you use a dimmer switch with low voltage lights?
If you install line-voltage track and rail lights with incandescent bulbs, you can use dimmer switches to control their brightness. Just be sure to use a line-voltage dimmer as well. Line-voltage switches do not work with low voltage lighting fixtures. There are two varieties of low-voltage dimmers.
How does a low voltage dimmer work?
It dims the low voltage side of the power supply by sending a 0-10 volt signal from the dimmer switch to the power supply and requires two extra low voltage wires going to the dimmer. Normal dimmers send a signal to dim the line voltage (120V) side of the power supply.
