Several years ago we replaced our original install (1970's era Kliegl 36 dimmer and patch panel) with comapny switches, portable ETC Sensors and Multi Cable. Part of the reason for this is that in addition to the dimmers needing a complete overhaul, the dedicated electrics had reached the end of their service life with brittle, cracking insulation. If your upgrade is including anything beyond simply a one for one replacement of the rack I would look for a different solution. We are now perfectly situated to move to LED's with onboard dimming, controllable fixtures, distributed power and control. I doubt we will ever buy another dimmer module. It is also more consistent with what our students will find on the road. </span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px">We are extremely happy with our decision to entirely skip the dimmer/circuit racked dimmer era :-)</span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px"><br clear="all"></span><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br></div><div>Kim Hartshorn</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div>
