Looking at doing a small gig in a space that (for no apparent reason) has exclusively GFCI outlets. (No water anywhere in evidence, fully indoors, and built in the last decade.) I know in the past I have tripped these with cheap little conventional dimmers. I'm wondering:
(1) Does anyone have experience with the dedicated Bak Pak model dimmers being powered from a GFCI receptacle (perhaps since they are IGBT this not an issue)?
(2) Is there any issue using LED fixtures on these GFCI receptacles? I have mostly ColorSource PAR and ERS fixtures, and some older Blizzard par units. If so, is it worth keeping to a smaller load (e.g. 12A), or does that not make any difference?
Please don't respond telling me how to defeat the GFCI protection... I'm assuming there is a reason it makes someone happy that it's there, even if I can't imagine it (monthly indoor kiddie pool night?)
Thanks!
