what do you mean by "switch"?
Is it possible to switch 120 volts ac to 12 volts dc yet raise the amperage from 15 amps to say 23 amps safely ???
If so how would it be done ??? or would it be safer to work channel to channel for the higher amperage ??
Thanks

2022 - Not sure yet. At least two new songs.
2021 New Tune-to sign. New 40x27 matrix at the house. Retiring the Strip based matrix. Updating some of the old window frames to the new house. Adding two new songs.
2020 Full sized show reworked for the new location. Only adding (famous last words) 13 RBLs that I finally got converted to using pixels
2019 - Just moved into a new home (yet another change of plans). Will be dim but not dark. Too much to do at the new place to leave time for a show. Dim show (3000 pixels) had regular visits most nights.

Here is the safest method -> X
In addition to what Angus added, and to read into your question(possibly making a wrong assumption here), I think you might be confused about amperage. Drawing say, 15 amps from a dc power supply doesn't draw 15 amps from the AC line. To do the calculation, you can't just use the amps, you have to convert the dc amps to power, then calculate the ac amps from power draw.

That is assuming he meant converting AC to DC using a PSU. But if he wants to dim at the AC level and have the DC do something intelligent then that is a different question. Hence my request for a better explanation of what the OP is trying to accomplish. If the OP is trying to take variable AC to Variable DC then I agree with Angus --->X
