Lighting Fixtures & Lamps Questions Answered

I recently purchased 3 LBL Lighting pendants HS377 and I would like to know if a dimmer switch is available and if so, how much the cost would be for these three LBL pendants?

Answer:
The transformer for these pendants are electronic; thus a low voltage electronic transformer is needed. 50W x 3 fixtures means that the dimmer has to handle at least 150W watts. Arcadian recommends the Lutron low voltage electronic dimmer DVELV-300P.

There is a good chance that a regular household line voltage 120V dimmer might be used to control the dimming at about half of the cost. However, consider going with Lutron’s Diva low voltage electronic dimmer - DV-10P, to be sure that they will be working the first time and to save labor.
