Having just had a bulb failure (G9 Capsule) destroy a MK Dimmer, I am pondering a better solution. The module in the 2 gang dimmer is MK 42880PL -
Any recommendations?
Took a quick look this morning - didn't see one. Should there be one?
Have you checked the dimmer's internal fuse?
Not all, but many have one...
As to brands, I have not had any problems with the Varilight ones that TLC do so far.
In mine it was a tossup between a PCB track and the thyristor... ;-)
get 400W units. They seem to have lasted for me..
Dimmers are vulnerable to this. Your best insurance is to go for a higher rated dimmer, such as 500w. Fuses usually dont save silicon devices, though they sometimes will.
