Re: Crestron centralized lighting control

The CLX-2DIM8 will dim LED's but the driver has to support forward phase dimming. We use CLX-1DIM8's and TCP fixtures in our office, and they play fine. The CLX-2DIMU8
will play with more LEDs as it uses reverse phase dimming, which is compatible many more load types.
The GLXX don't worry about as that is part of the protected commercial lighting line and you'll need to jump through a number of hoops that you wouldn't normally need to with normal Crestron product to get that product. Stay in the CLX line.

Subject: [Crestron] Crestron centralized lighting control
?
I done (successfully) numerous decentralized Crestron lighting control systems but never a centralized.
I've been brought in to assess an older?installed system from another manufacturer that is centralized.? It has issues - dimming LED lighting is one of them.
I thought this would be reasonably obvious - swap out old dimming modules for new Crestron modules.? The existing system has 3x in wall panels with 4x dimming modules in each panel.?After looking at the Crestron module choices I'm a little confused.?
It appears the CLX-2DIM8 will not dim LED loads.? The GLXX-2DIM8 appears to be the choice but I can't fit four of these into the existing panels.
I need some education on this.? I'll talk to TB tomorrow but was hoping to go into the talk with a little more knowledge.
Please educate me.
Thanks.
