sounds like a defective unit.
What is the load that this dimmer controls, I had this preoblem in the past, noise and heating. putting a much higher level dimmer, I mean instaed of 250W, I put 400W, this solved my problem and I am sure it will do yours as well.gman711 said:I replaced a one way light switch with a single pole dimmer switch and it works but it heats up when the light is on. Any solutions?
Of course if the load (the total watts) of the lights is, lets say 400W, I would go for 500 if it exists or even higher if 500 does not exist.
Keep it in a bucket of water?gman711 said:it heats up when the light is on. Any solutions?
I'm sorry - I'm starting to wonder if I'm in an appropriate frame of mind this evening.
And I haven't even been drinking.
Maybe that's the problem.....
