| Low Voltage VARILIGHT Electronic Transformers and Converters | To calculate load, add the VA ratings of the transformers (not the wattage of the bulbs) | ||||
| Match the transformer rating closely to the lamp load (e.g. 50-70VA for a 50W 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. Count 40W per converter and do not exceed 250W per dimmer circuit. For LED strip, VARILIGHT recommends V-Pro dimmers. | |||||
| Other Brand Dimmable Electronic Transformers | Use quality dimmable electronic low-voltage transformers, including TRIAC dimmable drivers, following the guidelines above. Always refer to manufacturer guidelines. | ||||
