    Note The 4x10A Dimmer is a constant voltage PWM dimmer and so will work with any size LED load that is within the Dimmer’s 40A current and 12VDC voltage range. Note that constant voltage dimmers do not compensate for voltage drop in load wiring so care should be taken to optimize load wiring designs by minimizing run length, assuring termination quality, and assuring adequately sized wire is used.
