so i thought it would be easy but i'm confused.
i have a sail boat and enjoy customizing basically every aspect of it.
the boat came with a poorly rigged high-low switch for the incandescent bulbs in the head. it is actually a high-low 'fan' toggle with a resistor on one side and it has little to no effect on the led strip lights.
i thought: good idea (full lights vs night lights), now lets rig up some LED strip lights to do the same. (not a full range dimmer, but a high or low rocker switch)
"it'll be easy ", i said.... (famous last words)
i bought a on-off-on rocker switch (I 0 II) and a controllable dimmer (see attached images)
but i am trying to figure out how to wire the whole thing up so it works with out reversing the polarity on the controllable dimmer .
so before i wire things up and smoke the controllable dimmer i though i'd ask for some help.
thanks
