ARE THERE LESS EXPENSIVE WALL DIMMERS AVAILABLE?
Yes. These leading edge or forward phase controls are commonly called incandescent dimmers. These can be purchased for less than $30 in most hardware or home improvement stores. Lightech transformers can be controlled with many, not all, of these types of dimmers. For dimming Lightechs DC transformer versions or the 300-watt transformers you should use an electronic low voltage dimmer for the best result. If you want to use these lower cost incandescent dimmers, we suggest contacting the dimmer manufacturer prior to purchase for any recommendations on models to use with an electronic low voltage transformer. Some dimming manufacturers recommend using only electronic low voltage dimmers to dim any electronic low voltage transformer. Any of Lightechs transformers can be dimmed with any electronic low voltage wall dimmer (trailing edge).
