Dimmer wall switch for interior LED lights?

I just switched my old tube florescent lights out with dim-able LED strips. I bought a DC dimmer wall switch for the lights but it had 4 wires and there was no way to install into my 2 wire system.

I can find nothing on the internet. Has anybody put a dimmer switch in a 2 wire RV system?

2 Wires?

Not so sure about that unless they are nothing more than a variable resistor.

DC electronics will need at least THREE WIRES in order to work.

Input + from battery

Battery "ground" (-)

Output + (variable 12V DC) to lights

Since OP has only 2 wires to work with they will most likely have to run a battery "ground" (-) to the switch location.

I suspect that the OPs wiring is only Battery + and the switched + that returns to the light fixture and no battery (-) to be had...
