Dimmable ballast for 36" T5's

[02WRXGT30R]

Hey guys I just got a Profilux about 3 weeks ago and I have 4 36" T5's two on each ballast and I would like to be able to dim them what are some of the ballast that would work for this if there is any it can be the 1-10V or DALI

links,prices,pics anything would be helpful as they seem to be a bit difficult to find Extremely happy with the controller though

Looks like you'll have to go with a 220V DALI ballast. That means you're going to have to buy a 110V to 220V transformer. Apparently, they do not make 36" HO T5 DALI (or 1-10V) ballasts in the US (110V). So, you're going to have to go with a European ballast, meaning you'll need to run it on a 220V transformer.

well dang not what I was wanting to hear!

do you have any recommendations for a ballast and transformer

I'm not exactly sure which manufacturers have the 220V 36" HO T5 ballasts. Supposedly GHL will be selling those once they have their DALI expansion released. As far as transformers go, just search for a voltage/power converter that can handle the amps (watts) of your lighting setup. It isn't an expensive item really and they're pretty easy to find.

I think Universal lighting and technologies makes some that are 0-10v. you will need one ballast for every bulb. The catalog number for the ballast is ES5853K. I would call them to make sure that is the correct one for your application. http://www.unvlt.com/index.html

Huh, I don't know what a 35W T5 bulb is. 36" HO T5's are 39W.
