[SML] Dimming 24v load

[e-mail frank.wood95]

Dimming low voltage loads can be tricky. The obvious method, of
interposing a transformer between the dimmed mains supply and the load
is fraught with dangers. Thyristor dimmers do not take kindly to
inductive loads, and electronic transformers may not take kindly to
the outputs of thyristor dimmers. Some will, ant they are probably the
best answer. I cannot advise you on brands, but I have a whole heap of
24V birdies which run happily through electronic transformers from
thyristor dimmers.
