emo777 Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 can it do both dimmer and on/off?? If not, can only light system from c4 do this ??? cause currently i have a light switch that does both made by lutron so i'd like to replace it with c4 controlthanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex: One of our entry doors at our store. While dimmer is at 40% door is opened toggle light in room and return to 40% when door is closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emo777 Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 sounds good. can you still use it manual to turn on and off and dimmer also ??? I just want to make sure you know with the wife and making things simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecodeman Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Yes, the dimmers work as normal dimmers without the controller. A very expensive dimmer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimming, On/Off ToggleThe LDZ is what you want if you want to use as dimmer and toggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingkev Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 NEW question,Can I, and if I can how do I...... control 2 lights with one dimmer? here's the example... I have under cabinet lights on two sides of the room, both have an individual dimmer switch. I would like to sync them so if I dim one to 50% the other will dim to 50% without having to walk to the other side of the kitchen and turning them on. I'd like to have them sync from either switch...... any help>?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake279 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Your dealer can bind these switches together in programming so they work together if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingkev Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 How do you "bind" them? (I do not have a dealer anymore) and have been doing most of my own programing, hoping to be a dealer someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannyboy Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Can the LDZ-101 be used to dim CFL?If not, can they be set-up to just on/off CFL?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 sorry - one more question - can they be upgraded to zigbee pro when the time comes?Im sure I've read this somewhere - but want to be sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannyboy Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Thanks Hanniae - What is the difference between the 101 and 102?Can the LDZ-101 used to dim dimable CFL globes?If not, can you configure the LDZ-101 to switch CFL On or Off only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecodeman Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 For CFLs, a lot of hit and miss and it depends largely on the type of light. The easiest thing to do is dim incandescents (cheaper and much better dimming properties than even dimmable CFLs since they have a "minimum turn on" that needs to be reached) and switch flourescents.

ILoveC4 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 If you have DIMMABLE CFL's, then yes...you can dim them.The 102's have a little more memory I believe, and they have an antenna would up that you uncoil to help with zigbee reception. I think that was the only difference, but Henniae could probably answer that better being a dealer and all.You can configure a dimmer to act as a switch and it works just fine. You set the ramp level to 100%, and set the ramp up and ramp down times to zero seconds. Then it works just like a switch (unless you hold the button down, which I would imagine will still cause it to come on gradually). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecodeman Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 If you have DIMMABLE CFL's, then yes...you can dim them.Right, but not 100% like incandescants. There's still a minimum turn on to "strike" the ballast. This turn on varies depending on the manufacturer, etc. Some are approximately 20%, and beyond that they cannot be dimmed all the way to 0%.

dgbrown Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Alan - In terms of the tactile feedback, I have some 102's that have just "poor" tactile feedback. Much worse than some of the 101's I have.Bad batch perhaps ? Is there anyway to tune these things ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILoveC4 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 It would be a pain, but you could always move the ones with poor feedback to a location that doesn't get use often, if at all.I have several dimmers (for exterior lights mostly) that I can't remember the last time I used the physical dimmer, the lighting is just automated. If I had some that felt crumby I would swap them out for ones I don't press often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
