Oznium Fade-in Fade-Out LED Dimmer, 8 Amp Current Rating

I've got an especially (overly) complicated setup and this works very well, I'm using it in a custom bathroom lighting setup and use a 12v motion sensor which activates this device, which connects to a 12v rotary dimmer and then to LED tape. I wasn't sure the dimmer would work properly in concert with this device, but it does. I use the dimmer to set the maximum level, most often at full, but occasionally lower in the evening. I don't get any unusual behavior, though obviously when reducing the range, the fade is less pronounced. Only complaint is that, at least on the unit I have, the speed button is hard to push. It gives very little tactile feedback, but I imagine that most wouldn't be adjusting it much.

Pros Very nice for leds to fade in and fade out. A little complex to hook up, a lot easier for those with 12 volt wiring experience and tools. Cons There is one draw-back .. this unit does not have a true sleep mode where it draws little to no power .. but it's still low enough for use in automotive applications. I just used a timer to supply power that did have a true sleep mode ... for longer stretches of non use.

Worked great once I got it wired correctly with my motion sensor with dusk to dawn feature (wired using a + trigger) would work using the - trigger.

Fader fades in/out my LED lights on my truck as advertised. This uses the Vout- wire to fade. All lights you want to fade in/out HAVE to be connected to the Vout+ and Vout- wires. You CANNOT use a chassis ground point/lug. I had to re-wire a bunch of lights that used a chassis ground lug to the Vout- wire on this fader. Fader works best with single color, single function LED strips/lights. My RGB rock lights would flicker colors until the fade in process was complete. My running board running light/door assist/sequential turn signal strips do not like the PWM method this fader uses. Sections of light would be dark, while other sections would have just the amber on, other sections would have both white and amber on. A voltage filter will fix this issue. Incorporate this product into your electrical build as early as possible to avoid the headache I had of rewiring many lights. Fade adjustment time is very easy to adjust. The red LED time display does not go dark after a time period. It would be good if this did go dark to lessen the phantom battery drain. 3.75/5 stars overall.

I've looked all over for something like this and this is the only one that can find. it does a great job at what it does. It's a simple task but it works flawlessly. Little bit pricey but if it works for a while then I guess that would be worth it..
