I have a pre-lit tree with 1500 2.5v clear mini lights. How can I install a dimmer? I tried 300w Lutron lamp dimmer and it overheated and tripped off.
You will have to make a custom dimmer box for that kind of load. Start with a two gang plastic electrical switch box and install a 1000 WATT LUTRON ARIADNI DIMMER CONTROL in conjunction with a standard duplex receptacle. You will also need a 14/3 grounded extension cord to plug into the wall. That should do it.
The other option is to install the dimmer in the wall adjacent to the existing receptacle, provided you put the tree in the same spot every year.
Merry Christmas!

purchased from you late in the season when my normal suppliers ran out of product. You prices were unbelievable and I plan to place more orders with you this year. How much lead time to you need to fill my orders for C7 & C9 bulk reels and how early do you need my purchase order to reserve lights?
