RDM-INC50 Incandescent Dimmer Module

6000 W

The RDM-INC50 Incandescent Dimmer Module is a standard 6000 W
incandescent dimmer. It can dim incandescent lights, cold-cathode, neon
transformers and two-wire dimmable ballasts. It is designed for use with the
RDA series of enclosures, in a AMX Lighting™ modular digital dimming
system. The RDM-INC50 module's 120, 240, and 277 VAC ratings are CE,
UL, and C-UL approved.
