    Just installed a light with 25 x 20w halogens (looks like the sun), it has a large 12v toroidal transformer. My question is in order to dim the 500w load which Clipsal dimmer should I use.

    Regards
    Steve

    This forum is generally based around C-Bus. Are you looking for a C-Bus dimmer or a stand-alone one?

    Thanks Newman,

    C-Bus. As the current load is just over 2A (2.08) was going to use a 4 channel 2A (L5504D2A) but not sure as the load is very close to the limits, and these are only calculated values.

    Regards
    Steve

    Thanks Newman, sounds like the most cost effective solution.
