dimmer for LED strips

[anarchoi]

here's my situation

1 year ago i bought color-changing LED strips to put under my bed. I have a 5M one and a 1M one.

This is the strips i am using:

Here is the receiver and the remote:

I am using it with a 12V/2A power supply.

As you can see the remote already allows me to dim the led strips. But i hate using it so i would prefer to have a wall switch or a switch that i can put on my night table. I'm a newbie with electronics so i would prefer to avoid soldering.

I bought this item but it's not working:

When i switch my led strips on, first it is the wrong color, then at 50% the lights are blinking and it only starts working correctly at 100% brightness

I would want a setup like the guy in this video:

I spent hours looking for something that would dim my led strips but everything i find seems to be designed for single-color led strip

If it is not possible to dim color-changing led strips, then i would want an on/off switch that i could hook to my power supply cable. Something like the item i bought (last e*bay link i posted) but just with an on/off switch.... Where can i find that ?


Thanks !
