Good Afternoon chaps...

Got a few Lutron related questions need a bit of help with please.

Looking at their website which is pretty full on, trying to work out exactly what I need and whether it will work off existing wiring. Dosent make it any easier it being in American - 3way switch and 4way switch ??

Basically the customer likes the look of the 'Diva' range.

On one end we need a 3 gang/2 way dimmer : Switch One ---> to dim 6 x halogen wall lights (1000w dimmer) Switch Two ---> to dim LED strip Switch Three ---> to dim LED strip and the other end just 3 x standard 2 way switches switches ?

The way it's wired at present is feed to switch one end of the 2 way circuit, switched live out the other switch, 3 core between (singles way) ?

Another thing which I need to work out is what back boxes I need, I'm presuming that standard UK ones aren't going to be the right size ?


Another part of this job is having a full blown Lutron Graphik Eye system install. I'm running my 12 different switched circuits back to the controller and then a Lutron/lighting specialist is coming along to do his bit. My question is how do I go about testing this, cant see me getting a Zs - wouldnt fancy risking it anyway ? Suppose all I can do is an R1+R2 and then calculate it..?

Thanks for your help,

Sy

On the testing, you can't test through the dimmer, it's probably a triac that chops the waveform, giving artificially high Zs readings as a result.
Like you say, measure R1+R2 and calculate your Zs from that.
