What’s the right Control4 hardware needed to enable dimming ?

[Steelermedallion]

Want to connect these globoxes (illuminated posters) to Control4 …each has its own plug …best to install outer behind box with a plug in dimmer or is there a better way to wire this in a theater?

Are they all plugged into separate outlets? Are the outlets behind each one? Do you need to be able to dim them or just on/off? How do you control them currently?

The pictures are illustrative. The current setup has wall outlets at the bottom of wall but I’d like to hide those and ensure that c4 could control the dimming on/off of all of the posters

The company recommends a setup
With an Amazon product to dim but I’m not sure that would work well with c4

From website:

Inside our units, the LEDs are dimmable. Each unit does come with a Power Supply/Transformer (the power supply is not dimmable) that converts the 120V to 24V (what the LEDs take). The transformer is pictured under each product listing. It is 5.5 x 2.5 x 1.5. And for the 27x40" LED Frames, which are 42.66 Watts, the transformer is 3amp, we can put two units to one 6amp transformer if needed. A wall dimmer can be utilized, however you would need to use another power supply, please get with your electrician pertaining to the electrical set up, you want a power supply that is designed to be controlled and dimmed by an external wall mounted dimmer like the Leviton, Lutron, etc.

Some wonderful Glowbox customers have provided us with schematics for past projects, in the diagrams below, please use for reference, but again, double check with your electrician to ensure your set up is correct for how you would like to mount your LED Light Box Frames. In the comments/notes section of your order you can specify where you would like the cord to come out; back lower center portion or bottom left edge (cord will be visible when hanging on the wall).

might be able to use a Bond bridge/Bond driver for Control4 to learn the RF remote(s) and then send the commands.

Options:

(A) Add a Shelly RGBW between their transformer and the LED strip.
(B) Change their transformer to one that is dimmable, ask them for specs, and plug it into or wire for a control4 dimmer as desired

You'll be handling them like any other LED strip light installation. You can have multiple frames on one proper transformer and wire, or each their own transformer. Transformer can be at the frame, or remote, wiring dependent.
