We are replacing our fluorescent kitchen lighting with halogen track lights. We currently have 160 watts (4 x 40 watt fluorescent). How do I know the max watts when we replace? We have standard 120v circuit box. We would like to put in 12 x 50 watt halogens (6 on each side).Will this blow our circuit?
That depends on your breaker, wire size and other lights that might be on the circuit. If you have 12/2 wire and a 20 amp breaker, you can go up to 1920 watts. I would think that you would be fine adding roughly 700 watts. You will need a 1000 WATT LUTRON DIMMER CONTROL.

Our kitchen light dimmer switch has a very slight glow. Is this normal?
This is normal for some dimmer controls. You bought a LUTRON DIMMER CONTROL with a built-in night light feature. This glow is designed to help you find the switch in a dark room.

The transformer for the light has a 120 V AC input which plugs directly into an outlet. It has a 12V AC 1800 mA output What kind of dimmer do I need and which side of the transformer should I wire it to?
The LUTRON DIMMER CONTROL should be installed in front of the transformer to control the wall outlet. You will be dimming the power going to the transformer, which in turn will be reducing the out put voltage of the transformer. You must first identify if your transformer is an electronic or magnetic type. It is important that you select a dimmer control that is matched to the load.

We have installed some high output fluorescent T8 fixtures in
our manufacturing plant as a test. I needed them to be able to dim, so I h
ad the manufacturer change out the ballasts to do that. They said it was "no problem".
Each fixture is 6-4 foot T8 bulbs. They are installed in banks of 5fixtures of 6 - 4' T8 bulbs. The intent was to have each bank be able to dim the 5 fixtures together on one dimmer switch. (each dimmer is controlling 30 T8's)
Long story short- It don't work. Maintenance has no clue why. The biggest problem is that only about 1/2 the bulbs in the fixture may light, the other have out. There is enough electrical noise to knockout all radios in the area. Bulbs burnout in no time flat. Has you had a similar problem? Can these things be dimmed?
Yes, wiring up
LUTRON ELECTRONIC FLUORESCENT BALLASTS can be tricky and will reek havoc on any light bulb if done incorrectly. We experienced a similar problem on a job we supplied for a customer earlier in the year. Turns out the wiring diagram from
Lutron is not very clear. SO we contacted
Lutron Technical Support and they provided him a much better wiring diagram which allowed him to rearrange the wires and solve the problem.
FYI - The manufacturer requires that you burn in the lamps at full intensity for 100 hours before using the dimming function. If you don't follow this advice your lamps will most certainly prematurely fail!

IF I were to use phantom lighing in a cove base over a tub in a master bath what is the suggested fixture. Also where and how to I mount the transformer?
PHANTOM LIGHTING is great choice for indirect lighting in a cove. TRANSFORMER is usually located in the attic or in a nearby closet or cabinet. You can use a LUTRON DIMMER CONTROL to regulate the intensity.

First, your website is impressive! I was unable to find out how to convert my kitchen fluorescent strip lighting to incandescent. I''ll need to add under counter lighting to spread more light. I look forward to your response and professional advice. thanks!
We are certainly glad that you like our website. Thanks!
You have a couple of options for converting your FLUORESCENT UNDER CABINET LIGHTS to HALOGEN UNDERCABINET LIGHTS or XENON UNDER CAB LIGHTS. Both of the quality task lights will retrofit with out having to rewire your lights. Both can be dimmed using a LUTRON DIMMER CONTROL.
Give customer service a call at 800-239-2939 to discuss your installation and which fixture is right for you.

This is relative to "Daisy Chaining" your Under Cabinet Lights and do you need more than one transformer to achieve the task ?
Thanks for the inquiry! You can connect our
PHANTOM STRIP LIGHTS end to end as long as the total load does not exceed 13.33 amps per run. (watts/voltage = amps) We have
PHANTOM LIGHTING TRANSFORMERS that will handle loads up to 1000 watts. In a case where you have several strips in various locations you can run individual home run wires from each fixture back to the
transformer. If you decide to switch some sections
separately you will need a transformer for each switch leg grouping. Don't forget to use a
LUTRON DIMMER CONTROL for mood setting
