00:00Hashtag top 5 touch dimmer ICs for LED lighting.
00:04Alright, so you're building a custom lamp or modding an LED strip and you need a solid touch dimmer module
00:09that actually works without breaking the bank.
00:12I spent way too long digging through listings so you don't have to.
00:16These are the 5 best touch dimmer ICs for LED lighting right now, ranked by real sales numbers and ratings.
00:22Let's get into it.
00:24Coming in at number 1, this little Type-C USB touch lamp module is honestly hard to beat.
00:30For about $1.03, you get a complete circuit board with 3-gear plus stepless dimming, USB-C charging, and
00:37it's built for small night lamps or desk lights.
00:40Over 4,000 sold with a perfect 5-star rating.
00:44That never happens.
00:46If you're doing a DIY night lamp project, this is the no-brainer pick.
00:50You can even grab a 3-pack for basically the same price per unit.
00:55Number 2 is a 220-volt touch switch module with 3-way dimming, and this one's for you if you're
01:00working with mains-powered table lamps.
01:03It's a proper touch sensor control module, so you tap the lamp body and it cycles through brightness levels.
01:09For bucks, almost 4,000 sold, 4.9 stars.
01:13What I like here is the versatility, it works as a direct replacement for broken lamp switches or as the
01:19brain of a new build.
01:20Solid pick for AC projects.
01:23At number 3, we've got something different, a USB touch dimming switch that comes with a 1.5-meter cable
01:29build right in.
01:31This one runs on 5-volt or 12-to-24-volt DC, handles up to 2 amps, and it's designed
01:36specifically for LED strip lights.
01:40338, nearly 4,000 sold, 4.9 stars.
01:44You literally plug it in line between your power source and your strip, tap the touch point to dim.
01:49No soldering, no wiring headaches.
01:52If you're doing under-cabinet or desk strip lighting, this is the one.
01:57Number 4 is another 220-volt 3-way touch dimmer module, similar to number 2 but from a different seller
02:03at 4.29.
02:05Why's it still on the list?
02:07Because 3,800 people bought it and rated it 4.8 stars, so it's clearly proven.
02:13The slight price bump might come down to component quality or shipping options depending on your region.
02:19If number 2 is out of stock, this is your backup, same functionality, same form factor, still a great deal
02:25for an AC touch dimmer.
02:27All 5 of these are linked down in the description, I put them in order so you can find exactly
02:32the one that fits your project.
