1000w dimmer

[theguz]

hi guys do any of you know where i can get an ordinary one way one gang dimmer that is over 1000w .the circuit it is dimming is 1080w and 1000w dimmers wont do. the only other thing i was thinking of trying was using a 2 gang 1000w and paralleling the outputs to split the load to some extent.either that or it will be lower wattage lamps

That seems a wee bit large boyo

Cant you break the loading down into a managable size? Then fit a few dimmers.

 

[theguz]

no its an existing circuit in a bar with no access to the wiring

It's gonna buzz like crazy, but with it being in a bar it'll probably be ok.

 

[theguz]
