Lighting Sales Information
AMX Lighting products are guaranteed to switch on and off any load that is properly connected to our lighting prod-
ucts, as long as the AMX Lighting products are under warranty. AMX Corporation does guarantee the control of dim-
mable loads that are properly connected to our lighting products. That includes loads correctly chosen, sized and
attached to our dimmers or switches under normal power conditions. Any load that cannot be verified by its manufac-
turer as rated for dimming is not guaranteed by AMX Corporation to dim properly. This includes various lamps, bal-
lasts and transformers, as well as items no longer covered by warranty.
The dimming of low-voltage lighting requires the use of a dimmable transformer. Transformer manufacturers must
verify that the transformer is dimmable according to written or known specifications. Although AMX Corporation
will try to discern the dimming capability of a transformer by any manufacturer, it is still the responsibility of the
dealer to obtain this information. Therefore, an AMX Corporation dimmer designed for forward-phase dimming
should not be connected to a transformer that requires a reverse-phase dimmer.
The dimming of fluorescent lighting requires the use of a dimmable ballast and a dimmable lamp. Ballast manufac-
tures must verify that the ballast is dimmable according to written or known specifications. Although AMX Corpora-
tion will try to discern the dimming capability of a ballast from the manufacturer, it is still the responsibility of the
dealer to obtain this information. Each dimmable ballast must be connected to the proper AMX Corporation Lighting
dimmer and a lamp specified for dimmable operation. We guarantee fluorescent dimming capability when the proper
AMX Fluorescent dimmer module is connected to the proper dimming ballast and a verified dimmable lamp.
Lamps must be verified as dimmable to ensure proper dimming. Lamps with integrated ballasts and transformers, as
well as other passive or electronic devices attached to the lamps must have written verification from the manufacturer
of dimming capability. Fluorescent lamps used for dimming should be operated in a full on condition for approxi-
mately four days before the dimming performance stabilizes.
The dimming performance or quality cannot be guaranteed due to the random combinations of a dimmer, a lamp and
a ballast or transformer. How well a device dims depends on many factors that cannot be controlled by AMX Light-
ing. AMX dimmers regulate the voltage to a lamp, ballast or transformer. AMX Corporation does not regulate lumen
output performance for a device manufactured by another company.
