Hello all,
I plan to wire some general house lights to D20 dimmers for my upcoming show, I know how to wire it no problem the one question I have is, is there a maximum number of bulbs I could put on on channel of a D20 dimmer, what is the max if I say was putting
120v 50watt bulbs in parallel? On the other side, if I were to just put one 120V 50W bulb on a dimmer channel would I overpower it and blow it?
Also just to run my plan by some people to make sure my idea is safe, I plan to wire these bulbs in parallel, and I will use a porcelain base that I will mount into a piece of 2x4, I will also be using little 1gang boxes on the back to cover wiring just to be safe.
I am just not sure about that first part, any help or info on this would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!
