Resistive dimmers are suitable for control of incandescent lamps. When dimming GU10 type mains halogen or linear halogen lamps, the dimmers need to be derated by 25%
When used for dimming low voltage electronic halogen transformers, it must be noted that the dimmer controls the primary side of the transformer. It is important that you seek advice from the transformer manufacturer that their transformers are suitable to be dimmed by a leading edge type dimmer and that it is compatible with a Hamilton manufactured resistive, leading edge dimmer.
Inductive dimmers are suitable for dimming Laminated or Toroidal type low voltage halogen transformers only.
HHF10VR control (high frequency) is for use with 1-10volt analogue regulated ballasts. The total load should not exceed the rating of the switch (e.g. 20amp).
