Hello, I recently swapped out 6, 150w 1X2 flat LED pannel shop lights. They had a 1-10v dimmer line installed.

I upgraded to 6, 200w UFO style LED high bay lights. Replaced each wire 1:1 taking my time to make sure each has a good connection with wire nut and black electrical tape.

This morning after about 1hr the first light goes out and the rest are dimming to about 30%

Could it be my dimmer switch? What switch do you reccomend?

Here is a detailed drawing of the issue


Thank you
 
Have you been up to check your connections?

Try changing the dimmer to a regular switch, to test it.
Not all dimmers work with LED…. And not all LEDs are dimmable
 
Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but aren't you trying to control 1 - 10V protocol dimming lights with a conventional waveform chopping dimmer switch. The dimmer switch you've arrowed appears to be a conventional high wattage dimmer.

Is your dimmer rated for 1200 watts?
