Hi,I have a loft space with 2 rows of halogen tracking lighting (8 lights total, guessing about 20W each). There are currently two switches located in different parts of the loft and I'd like to add dimmer functionality to one of them. It should not hum, etc.. and be generally high quality. What is a good choice? The one switch I'd like to change out for a dimmer is behind a wall plate with two other switched (3 total). I haven't removed the wall plate but I'm assuming the switches are 3 discrete boxes and can be removed seperately. Is this a reasonable assumption or should I simply remove the wall plate and look before ordering? Thanks

Lutron is the world leader in wallbox and architectural dimming systems. The LUTRON DVELV DIMMER SWITCH is a high quality dimmer control designed for use with electonic transformers.   If you have a magnetic transformer you should use a LUTRON DVLV DIMMER SWITCH with comes in 600 watt and 1000 watt models. The electronic control is only designed for 300 watts.

All Lutron wall box dimmer controls are designed to be ganged in a stardard box like the three gang you have.  However, you must DERATE the dimmer by 20% if they are installed side by side with the cooling fins broken off.  Click the derate link to view a chart on ganging dimmer controls.  You might also look at the custom SCREWLESS CLARO SWITCH PLATES that Lutron sells.
