Track lighting Advise

[lukest123]

When a 20W LED spotlight of the same brand and design is added to a 5-meter single-wire track system, which already has four 30W LED spots connected to a Varilight 300W 2-Way LED Replacement Dimmer Module, the entire track system experiences dimming. Why does this happen?

Have you tried adding another 30w led

If that works ok presumably the issue is with the 20w . A fault or incompatibility issue

Hello, indeed, it's quite peculiar. I have tried using two different 20-watt spotlights, but both appear to cause the 30-watt lights to dim. I don't have a 30-watt for comparison.

That suggests incompatibility if if there is no overload issue of whatever type

They are all dimmable and from the same brand, just different wattages: 30W, 20W, and 10W.

single-wire track system

Pardon my ignorance, I'm not familiar with this: Does this mean the lamps are wired in series?

Are these track lights mains or a lower voltage off a transformer, could be the transformer is not able to supply sufficient power.

No I presume it just means there's only one switched feed inside the track, as opposed to 2.
