Oh, I wasn't replying to Tomo, I was replying to the OP. ETCs published performance details IIRC were based on using ETC dimmers. My results were based on using alphapacks, which is what we had, and they didn't work. Flickering all over the place unless it was at full or 0%. The last 5% dimming I believe (again IIRC) is because the driver switches to a different way of dimming. It's just a touch steppy and snaps a little at the end, nothing too rough, but maybe not perfect for theatre? Anyways, it's been a bit of a faff but for the job I am doing they have worked perfectly.

Sorry yes, terminology wrong. But, yes, DMX driven.

I have just gone through this with 12 of them I bought. With the transformer they come with on a standard dimmer with no dummy load, nope, they do not dim nicely, they barely dim at all. With a 500w flood on the same channel, yeah, I got them working, but it is horrible and pointless. So, I have just spent the best part of a week wiring up these dimmers, EldoLED And they work perfectly. I am currently using them in an animation studio and they hold a perfect steady beam down to about 5%. I bought mine through Light Dimensions who were good enough to set them up with the correct current ratings etc. Send me a PM with an e-mail if you want pics of my set up.
