I have 17, 23w led recessed lights on 1 circuit. Can these dimmers be used,or do we need multiple circuits?

BB's answer is correct - three sets of dimmers serving up to six of your 23 watt bulbs each - they can be on one circuit depending on what else is on that circuit.

Per lutron, "Works with up to 150 Watts of most dimmable CFL/LED bulbs or 600 Watts of Incandescent/Halogen bulbs". If you have (17) 23W LEDs, that is 391 watts, so you'll need 3 separate dimmers although they can all live on the same branch circuit.

Since that's a very technical question, I'd suggest you contact Lutron directly via phone or their website - that would be the best way to get the correct answer to your question.

Yes you will need the power supply. The dimmer goes between the power supply and the lights. Just a couple of 18 or 22 size wires will work fine cut to the lengths needed. As for the connectors, depends on how many pieces you're going to have. If you need to go around corners, then it's easier to cut the strip and make the40/90 degree bend you require. Then you would need 2 connectors, (One for each strip) one long length would need only 1 connector. Unless you're handy with a soldering iron (pencil type) I'd check out a couple of videos on www.youtube.com, for hints and tips. It's not hard but patience goes along way in working with these. But the finished job is well worth it. Everyone that comes in my kitchen and sees them does the oooo's and awwwws. Also makes a nice night light when you go out.

You will likely need 5 of these for a run that long, or the colors will all be off and some will be dimmer. Not a good thing. As far as compatibility, if you can solder they will work.

Yes I would install two Dimmers at the "ends" and leave the center 4way switch - a 4way sw has 4 terminals and will be easy to spot out of the three locations - this way the dimmed power is only passing thru the 4way not affecting the dimmed power - anyway I haven't seen 4way dimmers so it is likely your only option ..from an electrician .. also 16watt x 9 = 144watts you are just under the 150watt limit of these switches - and higher bulb and it will get too hot and burn itself out (I never tried overloading this particular switch but have burned out other dimmers at overcapacity)

We only put 4 on the same circuit and do not have dimmers so not sure about putting 13 on the same circuit.

I don't know, I only used three of them. the formula is power + current times voltage, i.e. your dimmer switch capacity in watts equals amps times voltage. Use algebra. Voltage is 115 volts.

Not sure how to answer it. Why do you need to dim it? You w'd use dimmer for multiple lights with one switch such as one room with 4-6 lights.

Yes you can. LED lights may not work with this dimmer, but regular incandescent lights will. Just remember that if you want to fade the lights, to set dipswitch 11 and 12 to the ON position (off for switching mode)

I am using the previously installed dimmers meant to work with incandescent bulbs. The dimming range of LED bulbs is not as extensive as when using incandescent bulbs.

No you can't !If they are all connected to the same source they can't be turned on and off individually as they are on one transformer .....remember 12 volt lights ! You can use the dimmer to lower the light.

Yes. I was able to install one of these dimmer switches next to a single pole switch in a double gang box. The dimmer controls 12 LED lights in my livingroom and is next to a switch for a ceiling fan. I am very happy with how well this dimmer performs.

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.

I really doubt it. See the datasheet; It show good line regulation capabilities (2nd page graph): http://www.meanwell.com/search/nes-350/default.htmWhat I used was 12 volt dimmers on the low voltage side: http://www.dx.com/p/dimming-controller-for-led-lights-dc-12v-73618 I'm guessing that you want to dim other 120 vac halogen lamps on the same circuit at the same time?Something for someone to invent...

You may want to have a dimmer on some lights, and none on others which would be possible with the two separate outputs. I'm not sure whether drawing all of the amperage capacity from just one output would cause a problem or not.

yes those will work just fine but some times the dimmer switch has to be replaced with one recommended for those lights.

Sorry my previous answer was incorrect as I remember a new product that just might work, but your dimmer function might not be usuable. This LED unit is comparable to a 25watt light: https://www.1000bulbs.com/product/114212/LED-G92020E.html

I think this should work just fine - but I bought 2 dimmers and only one worked. The voltage of your power module is in the range of the dimmer and the current draw is well under the 2 amp. maximum. I cut the connectors off and soldered the wires directly into the circuit and the one unit works well.
