Im having a bit of an angry time with this crappy setup, and I was wanting to know if anyone had experience of also using these.
Basicly Ive followed the awesome user guide, and put a max of 4 ballasts on each dimmer (well 5 on 2 of them but none of them work right anyway)
So.
The ballast (which has 1 - 10v all over it) Provides 11.5ish volts at max, and the min can be set with a little variable thingy on the bottom of the MK dimmer, and so the problems begin.
So if its set to 0v (first attempt) after about 2mins POW! 1 single fitting comes back to about 80% brightness for no reason (Dimmer still maintains 0v) same happens, with 1v,2v,3v, I can set it to about 4.5 as a min, and it works fine. but its not dark enough for the client. Also when there set low, they eat the lamps for fun. burned about 8 out Just trying to stop the damn things flickering.
So, some of them Just go bright for no perticular reason. Some do the funky disco rave. (BIG FISH little fish, smash a f*cking light fitting!)
Ideas?
Sidenote: Im a subby not a contractor, I would't fit this poop.
edit:
Ive got 7 rooms with at least 14 dimmers none of them are much use :|
