I've asked my the electrical supplier I'm using if they are able to supply synthetic loads which are cheaper than the Lutron range or loads with watts that match my specific requirements so I don't end up using 100s of watts. Out of memory, when I spoke to Lutron about a month or so ago, they mentioned each zone needs a minimum of 40w. Zone 4 will most likely be used at the same time. I'm guessing I'll most likely use 2 out of zones 1, 2 and 3 at any one point. Naturally not all zones will be lit all the time. Total watts in Zone 6: This will be a regular lamp so I can ensure I purchase a 40-50w bulb so no problems here.

Total watts in Zone 5: 2 x Toshaiba 8.5w lamps = 17w Total watts in Zone 4: 6 x Toshaiba 8.5w lamps = 51w. Total watts in Zone 3: 3 x Toshaiba 8.5w lamps = 25.5w Total watts in Zone 2: 3 x Toshaiba 8.5w lamps = 25.5w Total watts in Zone 1: 3 x Toshaiba 8.5w lamps = 25.5w Its a 6 zone model and is configured as follows: Will any dimmable LED bulb work with the Grafik EyeĪs you can tell I'm pretty new to all this so be gentle. If I buy the Grafic Eye QS, do I need to buy anything else other than the bulbs, fixtures and wiring?ĥ. What is the min load any circuit would need so one does not need to purchase the Synthetic Load? (I may be able to reconfigure the circuits or buy bulbs which are maybe 6w or 7w - If that helps?)Ĥ. Assuming I have to buy the Synthetic load, would I need only one or would I need one for each circuit (below 40W or whatever the threshold is)?ģ. Will the load I have on each circuit be sufficient or will I have to buy the Lutron Synthetic Load?Ģ. (The astronomic time clock is a welcome bonus.) I don't mind considering other brands but would need someone to recommend what equipment I should consider.īased on what little I know, my current concerns with the Grafik Eye QS are:ġ. I like the look of it and as far as I know, if set up correctly, they work pretty well. If I opt for 6 circuits, the configuration would be as follows:Ĭircuit 5 - Either 4 x 5W LED or 6 x 5W LEDĪt the moment I am leaning towards a Lutron Grafik Eye QS solution. If I opt for 4 circuits, the configuration would be as follows:Ĭircuit 4 - Either 6 x 5W LED or 8 x 5W LED (I'll be purchasing dimmable LEDs to use throughout all circuits.) I need some guidance as to what would be the best products for me. I am about to wire a small cinema room with either 4 or 6 circuits for the lighting solution.
