Review on HitLights 25W Dimmable LED Driver, 110V AC-12V DC Transformer Compatible with Lutron&Leviton for LED Strip Lights, Constant Voltage LED Products (Includes Removable AC Cord) by Chad Fox

Low profile dimmable LED driver with excellent dimming performance

I used two of these drivers in a kitchen accent lighting project. They are connected to Lutron Radio Ra2 dimmers that provide 12V linear lighting. One is used to control the lighting above the cabinets and the other to control the lighting installed below the island. The Lutron dimmer is a straight-phase model designed to dim low-voltage magnetic drivers. Luckily this driver, although an ELV variant, is also designed to work with 'normal' even phase dimmers. Dimming is very linear with no flickering at any dimming level. One driver is loaded with about 40 watts, the other very lightly loaded with 7 watts. Regardless, both drivers work fine and are load independent, as some drivers can be. The low-profile package allows the driver to be installed in low-height locations. In my situation I installed it on a countertop. The driver is shorter than the 3/4 inch wood used in the case. This allowed it to be placed over the crate and it will not interfere with the crate's movement. A+
