| Check your LED lamps are suitable for use with dimmers that have a standby mode. A load regulator may be required, e.g. VARILIGHT LEDFix. When using 12V a.c. or d.c. Dimmable LED loads with VARILIGHT Dimmable Electronic Transformers or Converters, please refer to the advice below. For any other brand Electronic Transformers, refer to manufacturers guidelines. | ||||
| Mains Halogen and Incandescent | Suitable Up to 100W, the LED maximum | |||
| Low Voltage VARILIGHT Electronic Transformers and Converters | To calculate load, add the VA ratings of the transformers (not the wattage of the bulbs). | |||
| Choose transformers with a maximum rating close to their lamp load (e.g. use a 50VA, 60VA or 70VA transformer to control a 50W low voltage bulb). | ||||
| For 12V a.c. LED loads, use VARILIGHT transformers at half their rating: YT50LZ up to 25W, YT70LZ or YT70Z up to 35W. For d.c. LED loads, use VARILIGHT YT40DC12 (12V) or YT40DC24 (24V) converters: up to 40W of dimmable LED strip or 30W of dimmable LED lamps each. Multiple transformers can be used following the advice on dimmable LED lighting above. | ||||
| Other Brand Dimmable Electronic Transformers | Use only quality dimmable electronic transformers. For optimum performance choose VARILIGHT transformers. Always refer to manufacturer guidelines. | |||
