Electronic Ballast Compatibility Update

[Forumadmin]

Just in from CIS..
Please note the "Electronic Transformer Compatibility Chart" has been updated and is accessible from The Clipsal Website. Some new transformers have been added and the format has been modified to make it easier to read.

New Developments on Calculation methods
Due to some confusion with users as to how CIS calculates the recommended quantities of Electronic transformers, we have formally documented the specifications and processes required to determine the "recommended quantity".

This document is now accessible from our website.

note the standard (orange packaged box ) pierlite downlight kit at the moment uses a GD32 electronic transformer.

The "outer packaging cardboard box" states the GD32 as only suitable for 'trailing edge dimmers".

There is no mention of this trailing edge requirement on the actual transformers that i have seen...

Hence why the chart you mention previously, now lists the GD32 as 'NC'
or Not-compatible with current c-bus dimmers ( leading edge).
