I have a 600w magnetic 120V - 12V transformer that has 2 - 300 W 12V circuits that I plan to use for lighting. I would like to control the
2 load 12V sides independently. Is there a comercial dimmer (X-10 or eqivalent) that will control the LV load side? If not a dimmer, is there a remote switch that will do it?Thanks,
Please give us a few more specifics.
What's your application? One of the biggest advantages of low voltage is that you can use DC power from batteries. Is that your intention? If so, TRIAC-based dimmers like those used in most conventional dimmers won't work. Like the X-10 signal itself, they need AC.
Or are you using low voltage for safety or other reasons?
Or a new-fashioned fixtures and lamps with (eg) exposed conductors that have become fashionable. I think they'll be neato at least for a while ;-)
If it's just because you have the transformer, you might reconsider.
In the US, the National Electrical Code (NEC) allows for 'interesting' configuration of low-voltage ( =
