How many LED lights can be controlled by LED Dimmer?

Some of our customers are wondering about how many LED lights can be controlled by LED dimmer?
Normal customer may have the concept that every dimmer switch has its max load current, if the lights added to the dimmer switch has exceeded the max load current of the dimmer switch. Then the dimmer switch may be overloaded, which will have adverse effect.
As a normal customer, you can make an estimation yourself by taking reference of the label information of the dimmer switch and the lights.
Firstly, read the label information of the dimmer switch. You can find its instructed max load current requirement.



Secondly, read the label information of the lights to find its working current.



Then use the formular below to calculate the maximum number of lights you can connect to the dimmer switch.
Number of lights=max load current of dimmer switch/ current draw of each lights.

For example, if you have a dimmer switch of ALLED at hand which max load current is 8A.

Then you are wondering how many LED Down Lights(0.24A) I can use at it?
Use the formular above.
No. Of LED down light=8/0.24=33.
That is to say, you can connect 33 LED down lights(0.24A) with this dimmer switch.

In a word,
1. Make sure that your light's accumulated load current has not exceed the max load current of the LED dimmer.
2. The load wire must be connected according to installation instruction. Any damage caused by improper operation is not included in in the warranty scope of the manufacture.
