Westside Wholesale Frequently Asked Questions

       Yes we do.  Keep in mind that only Advance Mark 10 ballasts should be dimmed and all other products may work, but void the manufacture warranty.  Using a dimmable dimmer on a Fluorescent fixture without consulting a certified technician is the volition of the user, and not Westsidewholesale.


     That being said, if you want to dim your florescent fixtures, use the following dimmers;

Nova
Nova T
Radio Touch
Micro WAtt
GRAFIK EYE 3000
Diva
Skylark
Radio Touch


     Fluorescent were first designed to be energy efficient, and boy do they do a good job.  A typical Fluorescent bulb can disperse the same amount of light particles as most incandescent bulbs, but will use up to 1/8 the power of a regular house hold bulb.


     Fluorescents were also designed to stay on.  It is said that the longer the Fluorescent remains on, the more efficient it is running.  If you are in a condition where you will be turning the lights on and off, it would be better to leave the lights on and not dim at all.
