Default Old Strand Dimmers

I am looking for some dimmers to install in an old Strand Environ 2 system used for architechural lighting in a church. This is a large cabinet system and two of the dimmer packs are the switching type for control of non dimmable flourescents. We are no longer using those units and would like to replace them with dimmers for incandescent lamps. We would like to add some more fixtures to cover an area that is not well lit, but we have run out of seperately controlled circuits. Anyone out there who knows where to find such products?

I'd start by contacting the boys in Texas, Genlyte since they have the strand franchise now. they'll be your best bet for upgrading inside that system.

Strand has this sort of odd regional rep system... at least they do around here. They have a strand specialist distributor who more than likely be happy to help you figure out exactly what you need and then put you in touch with a strand dealer nearby to do the work and purchase from. I suggest you send and e-mail to: [email address] Tell them you want some assistance upgrading your strand system and they'll put you in touch with a person to help you.

If you live up here in the pacific northwest let me know and I'll give you the email address for our local rep.

I appreciate the responses on my question. I am in the Portland area so both replies are from my neck of the woods and will probably lead me to some product.
