    Hi all!

    Please help me with this question:
    How much power lost on high power dimmer?
    and
    Can I use high power dimmer for energy saving by natural light saving? How much power lost on dimmer compare to the engergy saved from reduce light level?

    Do you have any experience for energy saving for warehouse using C-BUS?

    Thank you very much!

    Clipsal sell a number of dimmers that are considered as high power. Which one are you specifically referring to?

    Dimmer 12chs 10A

    Hello Mr.Newman!

    C-BUS High Power Professional Dimmer : L5112D10B2
    And
    C-BUS Professional Dimmer : L5112D10TP

    I read a case study about Warehouse of Toyota Tsuho in Australia, which use the metal halide. And the energy solution is using 2-stage step dimming control gear. is this gear a Clipsal product?

    Thanks!

    You can't use these dimmers for step dimming metal halide lamps.

    To quote from the case study documentation...
    This job site did not use Professional or Architectural dimmers.
