Currently, constant voltage power supplies with dimming functions are mainly used in combination with constant voltage type LED loads (LED driving requires stable current, and since the voltage is constant, only a certain resistance value needs to be connected in series on the LED lamp to maintain the current) to achieve constant voltage dimming.
