HL-V1-KS — rotary + RF LED-strip dimmer
This is a 12–48 V DC, one-channel constant-voltage dimmer for single-colour LED strip. The rotary knob is on the box, so you can park brightness at the installation without leaving a remote on site. Pair a Hi-Line 2.4 GHz single-colour remote when the client wants handheld or multi-zone control as well.
Why installers buy it
- Local control that does not depend on a phone, Wi-Fi or a lost handset. Turn the knob: off at the stop, then 1–100 %.
- Still part of the same 2.4 GHz family as HL-V1-L / HL-R6 / HL-R11, so you can add a remote or a second dimmer later.
- Selectable PWM (500 Hz / 2 kHz / 8 kHz / 16 kHz) when the job is in front of a camera — higher PWM reduces visible flicker on video, at the cost of some output current (see the table in the PDF).
- Logarithmic or linear dimming curve. Logarithmic usually feels better on LED tape; linear is useful when you are matching another control system.
- Over-heat, short-circuit and reverse-polarity protection with automatic recovery.
How people control it
- Rotary knob on the unit: off / brightness. This is the day-to-day control on cupboard, pelmet and joinery jobs.
- Hi-Line 2.4 GHz RF remotes (single-colour models): short-press Match, then the remote on/off or zone key. About 30 m in open space. Up to ten remotes.
A 3 s on/off fade can be set from the Match key (PDF). Hold Match 10 s to restore factory defaults.
Electrical — read before you order
- Input / output: 12–48 V DC, constant voltage, one channel
- Input current 8.5 A
- Output: 8 A @ 12–24 V (96 W / 192 W), 6 A @ 36–48 V (216 W / 288 W)
- At 16 kHz PWM the current falls (4 A @ 12–24 V, 3 A @ 36–48 V) — size the strip to the frequency you will actually use
- The constant-voltage driver should be at least 1.2 times the strip wattage, or the light can shimmer at full load
- Terminals: power +/− in, LED +/− out. Conductor 0.5–1.5 mm² (1 mm² is comfortable for 10 A). Tighten fully — loose terminals overheat at full current
- IP20, indoor, dry location. Ta −20 °C to +55 °C, Tc max 85 °C
- Size about 70 × 60 × 40 mm, about 59 g
- Keep ≥20 cm from the driver and from other RF units so the remote range does not collapse
What to put with it

The user manual PDF is on the Attachments tab (factory pages, Hi-Line website on each page). DIP settings for PWM and curve, plus the wiring diagram, are there.
Technical summary
- Functions: rotary knob + 2.4 GHz RF, 1 channel CV PWM
- Dimming: 256 levels, 0–100 %, logarithmic or linear
- PWM: 500 Hz / 2 kHz / 8 kHz / 16 kHz
- Protection: reverse, short, over-heat (auto recovery)
- Marks: CE, RoHS, FCC
- Warranty: 5 years
Must be installed by a qualified person. Confirm strip voltage and wattage before first power-up. Reverse polarity is protected, but a short on a undersized driver will still trip the supply.
