Hello All,
We are in the middle of a studio re modle, and are considering changing our lighting.
Does anyone have any experience with small cable mounted halogen lights?
Got em in the kitchen...plus some halogen track light bulbs in the studio...both provide nice background/backdrop lighting, but they do put out some heat, so location is a consideration.
SOME low voltage dimmers make noise . . . . not through the audio line . . . but the switch itself buzzes. At least that was the experience we had once.
Its very important that you get the right dimmers. Lutron makes dimmers specifically for low voltage halogens. The model number is SELV-300P-WH.
They're not horribly expensive [around 60 bucks] without them you'll have a whole lot or buzz or spend alot more for variacs
I have 2 different kinds of halogen systems....One kind here look like regular ol' track lights. The other other halogen system I have uses dedicated 'buttons' (about the size of a hockey puck) which really put out some heat...
You have to buy the right lutrons, they make a special dimmer for low voltage halogens, requiring a nuetral connection. any others regardless of wattage
will buzz
actually . . the Lutrons were the ones that I had troubles with . . . though normally they are really good.
