# Lighting

Last updated: 2026-11-06

Lighting in TapHome is dimmed in one of two ways, either by constant-voltage PWM on LED modules or by a 0-10 V analog signal sent to an external LED driver. PWM dimming controls LED strips, RGB and RGBW lights and tunable white fixtures connected to a 12 V or 24 V power supply, with a PWM frequency you can set up to 25,000 Hz. The 4AO module dims through an external third-party LED driver or dimmer module, using the standard 0-10 V range or a 1-10 V range with a defined off value. Use the overview below to choose the page that matches your lighting and your hardware.
