I'm researching some new lighting for my house. So far it looks like the JCL FlexiDim or the Hamilton Litestat Digital Mercury systems are most suitable. Does anyone have any experience with these?
It looks like I'll end up with lots of low power halogen bulbs for the effect I want. Having done some research it appears that the latest Philips or Osram units can reach around 20-25 lumens per watt. So I might complement these with fluorescent wherever I can. I understand that flourescents are dimmable when using the appropriate ballast and control (probably 1-10V). Has anyone got any experience on how well this dimming works compared to halogens?
