i am trying to understand how does these LED drivers work with the 0-10v dimmers ., since i don't see any current requirements for the dimmer inputs on the the LED driver nor in the specs of most of 0-10v dimmers I saw.
for example below is the LED driver i want to use , if i connect a analog or digital dimming source what should be its current rating?
It says dimmable 0 - 10v but when it's not being dimmed, it's 24v ?
It's current draw will be what ever you allow (eg using a resistor, or an electronic filter to limit the current, there's several ways to do this).
What LEDs you proposing?
it doesn't say dimmable from 0-10v , it says "dimmer 0-10v" meaning you supply 0-10v volts to control the output voltage or current , i am not sure how it works that what I am asking .
you are talking about the output current at the 0-24V output i am asking about the current you would need at the dimming outputs 0-10v .

I can't see the circuitry inside the "dimmer" I only see 1 image so i'm probably missing something anyway...
Current Limiting is done your side of the circuit, the box will limit that current further giving a "dimmer"
According to this Wikipedia article, the 0-10V dimmer input requires about 1 mA current from the control voltage source.
