I double checked with Optronics and they said the Opti-Brite LED Strip Light w/ Switch for RV Awnings - Weatherproof - Black Housing - 11" Long # ILL70CBSBAWN is dimmable so with the RV LED Light Side-Slide Dimmer Switch - Black Item # 37205-12315 you should be able to dim it.

Since you're having issues getting it to work first check the wiring to make sure you have it properly wired. On the switch the red wire will go your power source (which will need to be 12v), the black wire will go to your ground, and the white wire will go to the light. On the light the white wire will go to your ground and the black will go to the white wire from your switch.

The light has an on/off switch on the faceplate, make sure you put it in the on position and then use the dimmer switch to control the light.

If all of your wiring is correct and the light is turning off and on the dimmer portion of your LED switch might be bad and the switch will need to be replaced.
