The OmniDim is a universal dimmable LED driver designed for installations where dimming control matters and protocol compatibility cannot be guaranteed. Its 5-in-1 dimming support covers TRIAC (leading and trailing edge), 0-10V, 1-10V, PWM, and potentiometer protocols, meaning a single unit handles virtually every dimming system an electrician or designer will encounter. Deep dimming to 0.1% delivers smooth, precise atmosphere control that standard drivers cannot match.
The OmniDim Indoor (IP20) is available in 12V from 30W to 60W and 24V from 30W to 100W, suited to MR16 downlight circuits, under-cabinet LED strip, display lighting, and joinery. Its slim profile fits inside ceiling voids where standard drivers cannot reach. The OmniDim Outdoor (IP65) is weatherproof and aluminium-housed, available in 24V from 30W to 200W with a 1m Australian flex and plug. It suits garden and landscape lighting, alfresco and facade installations, and covered wet zones including bathrooms and laundries.
The VoltSwitch is a non-dimmable constant voltage driver with a built-in 12V/24V selector switch, eliminating the need to stock separate voltage variants. Available from 20W to 100W, IP20 rated for indoor use.
The OmniDim is SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) rated: the output circuit is fully isolated and safe for accessible locations including joinery, shelving, and under-cabinet runs. The VoltSwitch certification is listed on its product page. Installation by a licensed electrician is required for mains-side connections.

Buying Guide
Do I need a dimmable or non-dimmable driver?
If the lighting installation includes a dimmer switch and the globes or strip are dimmable, a dimmable driver is required. The OmniDim supports five dimming protocols: TRIAC, 0-10V, 1-10V, PWM, and potentiometer, covering the full range of residential and commercial dimming systems. If the installation has no dimmer and no requirement for brightness control, the VoltSwitch non-dimmable driver delivers clean, stable power at a lower cost. Choosing a non-dimmable driver for a dimmed circuit will cause flickering, instability, or driver failure.
How do I choose the right driver wattage?
Add up the total wattage of all globes or LED strip on the circuit. Select a driver with at least 20% headroom above that total to ensure long-term reliability and thermal stability. As a practical example, four 12W MR16 downlights at a combined load of 48W pair correctly with the 60W driver. The OmniDim performs reliably from 10% to 100% of its rated load, so oversizing for future expansion is acceptable. Undersizing a driver, running it at or above its rated maximum, causes overheating and significantly shortens its service life.
What is the difference between 12V and 24V drivers?
Both 12V and 24V drivers deliver the same light output, but 24V systems offer practical advantages for longer cable runs and strip lighting installations. At 24V, the current is halved for the same wattage, which reduces voltage drop across longer distances and allows LED strip to be run further without brightness loss at the far end. 12V is the standard for MR16 downlights and most low-voltage globe fittings. The VoltSwitch eliminates the stocking decision by supporting both voltages from a single unit via an onboard selector switch.
Frequently Asked Questions
LED Drivers
- What does SELV mean on an LED driver?
- SELV stands for Safety Extra Low Voltage. A SELV-rated driver has a fully isolated output circuit, meaning the low-voltage side (12V or 24V DC) is electrically separated from the 240V mains input. This makes SELV-rated drivers safe for use in accessible locations such as joinery, shelving, and under-cabinet runs where the output wiring may be touched.
- Does an LED driver need to be installed by an electrician?
- The mains-side connection (240V AC input) must be wired by a licensed electrician in Australia. The low-voltage DC output side can typically be connected by the end user. The OmniDim Outdoor comes with an Australian flex and plug, so no hardwiring is required for the driver itself, though the LED circuit it powers still requires proper installation.
- What is the 5-in-1 dimming compatibility on the OmniDim?
- The OmniDim supports five dimming protocols from a single unit: TRIAC (leading and trailing edge), 0-10V, 1-10V, PWM, and potentiometer. This means the same driver works across virtually any dimming system without needing to know the protocol in advance, which is particularly useful for retrofit projects and commercial fit-outs where the control system is already installed.
- Can I use one driver for both 12V and 24V globes?
- No. A 12V driver must be paired with 12V globes, and a 24V driver with 24V globes. The VoltSwitch offers a practical middle ground: a single unit with an onboard voltage selector switch that can be set to 12V or 24V during installation, eliminating the need to stock both voltage variants separately.
