Dimming led panels

polo1 · Jan 29, 2020

Hi all,
thoughts/advice please. Best/most cost effective way of dimming existing 1200x600 led panels?
Set up - The panels are currently wired/switched in four banks of three fittings each. The fittings are Ansell 56watt dimmable, but were installed (by others) & kept on the existing on/off switches.
Client now wants to be able to dim each bank of three lights individually.
Thoughts/suggestions welcome ( & budget is an issue!).
TIA

If the drivers are dimmable it should just be a case of providing compatible dimmer switches ? Varilight V pro are pretty good but Ansell may have a list of preferred compatible switches.

Apparently not with Ansell panels Andy?

So keep the switch and use a variable (0-10v) rotary analog switch set in grid switch yoke next to switch that is if the control gear has a DC connection. Sometimes it is a 1-10v requirement from what I remember. Hamilton lighting do the rotary analog switch with the yoke etc.
