Why LED Dimming Is Not Always Straightforward and How Hi-Line Controllers Solve Compatibility Issues
This guide explains why wall dimmers often fail with LED strips and GU10 lamps and how Hi-Line controllers such as HL-S1-A and HL-V1-S solve these issues. It covers mains dimming compatibility problems, flicker, load limitations and the benefits of using a controller between the dimmer and the LED driver. It also includes examples of suitable drivers and explains why the correct driver size must match the LED strip load. Suitable for installers and customers wanting stable and smooth LED dimming.

When LED lights or drivers are switched on, they can draw a very high inrush current for a split second. This surge often trips breakers, stresses dimmers, and shortens the life of drivers and lamps. Even if the total load is within limits, several drivers switching on together can create a combined inrush strong enough to cut the power instantly. The HL-S1-SX surge current suppressor solves this problem. It sits in series with the mains supply, reducing the inrush at startup and then switching to full power. This protects dimmers, prevents nuisance MCB tripping, and extends the life of LED systems. It can be used with GU10s, other dimmable lamps, triac dimmable LED drivers, and even non-dimmable drivers when installed in multiples. Compact, easy to wire, and highly effective, the HL-S1-SX is a simple answer to one of the biggest hidden issues in LED lighting: inrush current.
