we have swag lights connected to a channel in the back of our stage, but the swag lights seem to be undimmable. From the booth, we try the wheel to dim them, but they dont dim, they just go off after they hit zero, but the dont dim at all. does anyone have any suggestions on what might be going on.
I was thinking that
1) because the swags are in parallel, and we took out two rows in the back, because the audience wont see it, and we dont want our actors breaking them, that that could be the reason
or
2) that the way that swags our wired, the voltage needed to sustain them is not able to be dimmed, and thus, we cannot dim them
but this is just me, does anyone know of anything whether they can or cannot be dimmed or might know what the problem is?
