Dimmer for 3 x 10W LED floodlights

[lfnfan]

Hi

I'd like to wire three 10-watt floodlights into a single dimmer switch (with box, not wall-mounted) that I can then run to a 3-pin plug in a wall socket. I've drawn what I have in mind in the attached pic.

Any advice or pointers on a suitable dimmer switch and / or how to wire up very much appreciated.

Many thanks

Sorry to say - but you cannot dim those lamp units.
They are not dimmable - shown by the icon with the cross over the increasing scale.
Their internal electronics will not allow for dimming.

Wow, good eye for detail!

Don't suppose there's any way around that...?

Search for dimmable floodlight (hard as the search will also find non dimmable!)

I found this, noting that it is 50W led, super bright (perhaps over bright).

Then use this dimer (this is designed for dimming LEDs). In my opinion Varilight V Pro is ALWAYS the one to get for this application:

Nice one - that's very helpful indeed.
Will get stuck into this.
Thanks again!

Just to add - following link is to CPC who is a good supplier.
All 6 of these are dimmable, but via remote control or WiFi.
Might make your life easier as does not need a dimmer, or harder as needs a bit of tech knowledge.

Today when I need to dim, I use smart bulbs, as said this means will not dim, but even when they can finding matched dimming switch and lamp is often a problem, flashing when off, and shimmer when on is all too common.
