75/10 streetlight dimming

Hello. I have my victron 75/10 solar controller connected to 18 Watts of LED lights. I have set the lights to be dimmed at 50% at sunset, however they come on at full brightness. Does anyone know what might be wrong?

I had the same issue with my 75\15. Apparently, in order to use the dim feature, the VE Direct TX digital output cable and a PWM LED driver are required.

I purchased a 12V single channel inline PWM LED dimmer controller(~$10). I then changed my 75/15 settings to simply turn the load output on at sunset(without dimming), then adjusted the external dimmer to the desired light level.
