I don't think so, unless you have some other mechanism to limit the current or the maximum voltage of the PWM. In other words, if your LEDs will be OK at 100% duty cycle, it should be OK. You may want to disable the reverse polarity function, as that could damage your LEDs.

I will try an LED driver, to limit current going into the inputs of this PWM device.






I also doubt it as the LED strips appear to have on board electronics so it may not like a PWM'd supply.
Max.
I may just have to try this out with some other high wattage LEDs first.

Thanks to you both!
