Where To Find Dimmer Switches

[dub2x]

I need to know where to find (and what model) 2000W lighting dimmer switches for a fixed installation. I am unable to install a central dimmer pack due to the location of all the circuits so I have to rely on dimmer switches mounted in the wall. I don't necessarily want the home consumer dimmer switches (from Home Depot) but I'd like something industrial (heavier) and with low noise. Each circuit will handle no less than a 1K light. But possibly 2 1K spots.

You would want an electrical contractor supply house. You will need a pro to spec out what you need. I would prepared to spend a minimum of $100.00-$300.00 per dimmer to get quality stuff for a fixed install.

You can get them from McMaster-Carr, #7083K18, in stock, $85 ea. (www.mcmaster.com)
You might find them a little cheaper elsewhere, but McMaster is fast and convenient.

Just make sure that they are quiet and hum free.

Thanks! I will speak to my electrician about this product and the noise factor. I don't forsee dimming too much as it will affect the color temp of the set but it is convenient to have the option when lighting requirements dictate.
