HEAVY DUTY SOLID-STATE FLUORESCENT LIGHT DIMMERS
Ideal For Poultry Houses with "Dimmable" Screw-in Fluorescent Lamps

BENEFITS

• Reduce Electric Bills
  
• Dim "Dimmable" Fluorescent Lamps to Proper Light Level
  
• Reduce Stress on Birds
  
• Increase Poultry Production/Profits
  

FEATURES

• Full voltage start-up to pre-warm fluorescent tubes for greater dimming ratio. After about 90 seconds, dimming circuit takes over and light intensity drops to the dimmer setting. Anytime power is interrupted, the full voltage start-up feature occurs when power is restored.
  
• Adjustable low end setting potentiometer to help prevent premature lamp burnout.
  
• Line voltage compensated control circuit keeps lamps steady when line voltage dips.
  
• Separate terminals accept low voltage wiring from an "instant-on" switch that your electrician can add. You can easily turn the lights on full for chores, then back to their original dimmed setting when the chores are done, without having to change the light intensity setting of the control knob.
  
• All solid-state, high power, heavy duty SCR's.
  
• Easily serviced with field replaceable modular parts.
  
• All aluminum enclosure.
  

Fluorescent lamps save considerable energy over incandescent bulbs of equal brightness. Although ordinary incandescent dimmers will dim the "dimmable" screw-in fluorescent lamps, most dimmers do not have three features necessary for use in a poultry building.
First, it is critical to have an adjustable low end setting to prevent the lamps from being dimmed so much that they start to flicker and go out. Flickering lamps will fail prematurely, so it is important to keep the light output steady at all times!
Second, full voltage should be applied to the fluorescent lamps on start-up. If an ordinary incandescent dimmer turns the lamps on at a dimmed setting, some of the lamps may flicker instead of coming on steady. Again, flickering lamps will burn out prematurely.
Third, a voltage regulated dimmer circuit helps when the line voltage dips a little and the lamps are dimmed. Most ordinary incandescent dimmers do not have voltage compensation, so again, some of the lamps may start to flicker and go out if the line voltage dips.
All Kalglo fluorescent light dimmers have these three very important features to help maximize the life of the "dimmable" fluorescent lamps.

To determine the size dimmer needed:
(1.) Multiply the lamp fixture labeled current rating by 2.5 to allow for power factor variations.
(2.) Multiply this number by the number of lamp fixtures to get the total load current in amps.
(3.) The total load amps should be 80% or less than the correct dimmer's TOTAL AMPS rating.
