I have bought 10 of them and want to know how to install a dimmer control if they all are in one circuit ?

Pretty easy. Just connect them all in parallel. Basically, just connect one lead from rack light unit to the black wire coming from the switch. Then connect the other lead from the light unit to the white wire returning to the box. Note: these lights do not require the third ( ground) wire.

You can use a dimmer to replace the normal on/off switch to control it. The installation is the same as the normal switch.

Thank you for your inquiry.The dimmer switch can be installed anywhere in the line of lights but only the lights that are installed after the dimmer switch can be controlled with dimmer switch.Therefore, we would recommend to install dimmer switch between power supply and the first light. If there is any additional question, please feel free to let us know. Thank you.

Yes you can. I have eight in use connected to dimmer circuits. Socket type has no bearing on using a dimmer.

There is nothing from the manufacturer that states that these CANNOT be used with a dimmer, but I would ask a professional before installing.

Yes I have 6 and they are all on dimmers switch that's what make them look so nice when you can dim the lights.

There is power connection at one end and connection to next unit at other end -- if you have other end. I hooked two together and put the third one on a separate dimmer switch. They are great.

I don't know what the difference is. I have 3 on a dimmer switch. All have worked fine for a few months now.

You can only connect two sets before they get dimmer.I tried to connect 2,3,4,5, or more sets together and after the 3rd set they became much dimmer and even dimmer as i kept adding more, they worked but got very dim.I plan on only connecting 2 sets together for one outlet.

You would need to set each switch at a different frequency; this is an issue that my husband investigated before installing our switches. You may know already but you can only use one switch per lighting series.

I would just remove the dimmer and plug directly into a switch-controlled outlet. You could use a dimmer switch to control the outlet, which would accomplish your objective.

I would assume so. Though I don't have that exact setup I do have a multi-pole setup with one dimmer and 3 other on\off switches for a multi bulb chandelier, and they work fine in that setup. I do also have some circuits with multiple fixtures outdoors (they work fine if shielded from the elements) but those only have single pole on\off switches with no dimmer. But I do have some other mini can 2 pin Philips dimmable LED bulbs on a 3 way circuit with one dimmer and one on\off. Hope that's not too confusing. Bottom line is that I would see no reason why these wouldn't work in a setup like you're describing. Hope that helps.

I am sure, its not possible to install a dimmer, it uses a fluorescent circular bulb, it won't dim.

I used an electronic dimmer switch and it works like a charm I got mine at Ace Hardware for less than $20. Remember you are controlling the power to the Ballast not the Lamp

Hi, dimmers usually have their own wires, unlike a regular switch that has screws and slots, it should not matter if you mix up the wires, if you have a 3rd green wire, that's your ground ( sometimes just bare copper wire too) some older buildings don't have that ground wire , if there is no place to connect it, just bunch it in behind the new switch, you can carefully cut the old wires, remove a appx half inch of insulation, twist the wires together, then screw on the little colored wire nuts ( tight) to each connection, you can put some electrical tape to cover any bare wires with the wire nuts and Please be carefully shut the power off if you can! Good luck!

You cannot use a standard dimmer switch for LED lighting and will need a basic lighting controller such as a Chauvet Obey 3 if you want to be able to dim them.

I had not tried with a standard dimmer on the line side. I had a solid state one on the low-voltage side that worked fine until it was determined that I really just wanted to install a simple toggle. :)

If you connect the dimmer control between the power source and the splitter or a single light bar it should work just fine. Try both setups to see if the splitter is the problem. If you get only an on/off response or nothing at all with that connection I am sure Lightwiki will quickly replace your dimmer control. Just so you know, my entire system worked great right out of the box and is still working fine. Mike
