Dimmer 2 with more than one transformer


schata

Question

Hi guys!

 

I hope wasn´t simply blind by searching something what fits my question. Anyway, nothing found.

 

Question: Is it possible to connect more than one electronic transformer for LEDs to the dimmer 2?

 

The manual says no but without any explanation why. Unfortunately I have a very strange wiring in the bathroom which is not really accessible. The only access is through the holes for LEDs and their transformers but there is not chance to change the wiring to connect all the LEDs to the same transformer. There are three transformers for three LED groups (3 LEDs per group). Sounds crazy but wasnt done by me and I have to handle it now. 

I´d like to replace the not dimmable by dimmable transformers (all three are same model). 

 

Is there a chance that it will work?

Did somebody already try to connect more than one transformer to the dimmer 2?

 

The manual of the Qubino dimmer doesn´t say anything about a problem with more than one transformer while it doesn´t say anything about multiple transformers at all.

 

Thanks for help.

Multible transformers work fine, I did read that in manual too "re not using"

I think they are more talking about multible different load types.

Many houses have a transformer or driver per lamp of mulitible lamps per transformer.

  • Ok. Thanks. 

     

    Different types of load may cause problems, thats right. 

     

    Anybody else who has gone through the multiple transformer setups? 

    Would be good to know whether any strange behavior is to be expected.
