But really a 5 star review.
I really like this. Well built. Excited about ordering another. Only one caveat. DO NOT REVERSE THE POLARITY! The application I wanted this for, needs to be positive dimming. This is negative dimming. Meaning that it lowers the negative voltage side and not the positive side. The result in reversing polarity is a smoke show. Yep I smoked it ten minutes out of the package! Wired correctly, it preformed perfectly. I'm not knocking this at all. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is to bring attention to my error and save you from the same. The red wires are both marked input+. I don't believe this has a factor in my issue because this dims the negative side. Positive should be a passthrough. On the photo of the dimmer, the bump is where it smoked (melted).
