Dimmable PIR & Candle Bulbs - Possible?

[breezer]

via a cable from the dimmer, and another sensor you listed if you want it independant

or buy another dimmer and the sensor you mentioned if you dont want to run a cble from one to the other


Put it this way.

The sensor you linked to speaks Dutch

the lights you have speak English

The dimmer translates Dutch to English as well as Portugese to English

Sorry, I've been off line all afternoon.
Well explained Breezer, and thanks for the nice comment on my site

To the OP, it's not exactly simple, but worth the effort
Good luck!

Whilst using the 10v input, do the wires get wired in the same way a plug socket does? Or do I need some sort of special connectors?

Just trying to figure out what else I need to order other than the DMX transformer and the dimmable PIR's (made for flourescent tubes).

 

[breezer]

its NOT a DMX transformer!!!!!!!!!!

why dont you read the specs for it and then you will know what it needs, or even look at the picture.

toasty, very interesting, i will read it all later, but it looks nice.

I've got one which translates Tibetan into an obscure dialect used by a lost tribe in the Amazon rainforest.

Now that I think I've got everything sorted and confirmed by you guys, a highly regarded and recommended electrician has assured me that using the PIR dimmer switch for both sets of lights is no problem at all !! He has supposedly installed these in the past without the use of a (DMX) dimmer pack as you have all recommended.

If he's willing to put his foot on the line with this and he is in fact wrong. What are the possible risks I face (i.e. it simply not working, fire, blown fuses, etc.)?

EVIS, you have got it all wrong regards DMX

DMX is a control protocol

what is DMX (isnt google useful)

in short you would need the first "thing you linked to" connected to the dimmer i linked to (you would need the 0-10v side NOT DMX)

0-10v pre dates DMX, DMX is more sophisticated and can have 512 channels controlled down 2 wires

A lot of stealth editing of this topic has been taking place - what's going on?

If he connects direct to the control outputs, (0-10 volt), he may well damage the unit.

There is an S/L connection on it rated at up to 6amps, maybe he will use that.
Not sure if that is a dimmed output though, without consulting manufacturer.
I personally dont think it is.
If it is not dimmed, then it will just switch the lights on/ off instead.

Thank you for the reply. Whichever method he chooses, there is no risk of the sensor (or lights/transformers) overheating and therefore risking a fire?
