Can I use this to dim ten tentlighting that totals 2800 watts?

Yes, I have almost the same watts in the area I use, and in 10 months I have replace it 2 times. But for the cost it is worth it, my recommendation buy a couple as a backup

I would think so you are under the maximum wattage. its alot of power so i would recommend that you have proper air flow to it to ensure a longer component life along with safty reasons.

Yes you can. Where we camped several people had at least 2 strands connected together to extend the entire front of their awnings. Their awnings were twice as long as ours. Our awning is 15ft. and one strand worked just great. Several people throughout the campground used the easy up shelters with more than one shelter side by side and then several of these lights hanging from those which looked to be connected strand to strand. YES they are very bright with the 60watt bulb. We did use a lamp dimmer plug/extension cord sold at the local hardware store in order to dim brightness as needed. While it was at full brightness they did attract the flying small bugs that look like flying ants. Once dimmed they went away. They are very useful for finding your camper. They are not tacky or too bright. Half the campers used these ..some with clear globes or all one color. The spiral flourescent bulbs will not dim. We had to use the regular bulbs in order to use purchased dimmer switch. This was the end of August in SC USA/ Surfside beach.

I use 2 10w in my bar for stage lights with other lights. The 10watt are fairly bright but for your application I would probably try the 20 or 30 watt model. Hope that helps.

My outdoor lighting does not have dimming capability, so I really don't know. I control my brightness by modifying the wattage of the bulbs I use. These bulbs are comparable to a 4 watt standard landscape bulb, and at 1 watt it would be hard for me to believe that you would want or could get them any dimmer without them turning off! I have much larger led bulbs in my home on appropriate dimmers, and when I attempt to dim them significantly the led's just turns off.

look malaka, as long as your light is 12 volt it should work you did not mention the watt's but as long as you dont exceed 200 watt with what other lights you are using.

I did not use the supplied dimmer or my own dimmer. I wanted the full 12 watts from the 4 panels I used. I recall reading in the documentation that there is a problem using a 110v dimmer switch. Check their supplied info or website to determine the exact issue.

Any dimmable bulb will work (up to 300W I believe), and it definitely doesn't have to be an Insteon one. Because this doesn't have a relay, it has to ramp down using the dimmer and isn't true On/Off. Because of this it can cause damage to non-dimmable loads (e.g. some CFLs). You can find the documentation for the unit here if you want to read further (http://www.smarthome.com/manuals/2457D.pdf)

You should use the 11 watts as the instructions say. If you use a higher watt, you could damage the light

It is the bulb not the fixture that makes it dimmer compatible. So if you use standard bulbs this is fixture can be used with a dimmer. The low energy florescent bulbs are usually the problem with dimmers. What is great about this fixture is you can use high wattage bulbs. I use phillips low energy standard bulbs that are about 50 watts but output about 2500 lumens which is about a 100 watt bulb. Multiply that by three and you have one very bright fixture if needed. Good luck

This uses 2watt and output light about 10 to 20 watt bulb equivalent. I am not too sure because I have not seen a 20 watt bulb. Definitely dimmer than a 40 watt bulb.

Dimable CFL might work, or if at least one standard bulb is in the circuit it might also work

I'm not sure. I'm not using it on a dimmer. I would guess you can but not from personal experience.

The Twelve dollar price is for 1 puck light with no AC adapter. I used a 30 watt power adpter that cost about $14. to run my 6 upper lights and another one to run my 6 lower cabinet lights. This unit (I don't think) is capable of dimming (not sure but don't think so) but you can look it up under " Ledwholesalers 30 Watt LED Power Suppply Driver Transformer 120 to 12 Volt DC Output, 3207 "

It is working fine for me. I have it in the dinning room running about 9 LED bulbs. 8 3.5 watts and one 12.5 watts. Works great. Used this to replace an X10 dimmer that was nothing but problems. Make sure you have a load and a nuteral in your switch box. You will use 3 wires to hook this up. The nuteral is going to connect to the lamp, the dimmer and the feed. Your load is going to connect to the dimmer. Your line is going to connect to the dimmer. Think of this dimmer as an appliance with a light connected to it. Comes with great instructions.

I do not know for.sure. when I bought my impact 1000 it to dim the lights on my rv awning. When I opened the box the directions said not for outside use so I have not used it. Sorry

A 300 watt LED is quite powerful. It's more than enough for a 2x4 tent IMO. Go for it!

I don't know, I only used three of them. the formula is power + current times voltage, i.e. your dimmer switch capacity in watts equals amps times voltage. Use algebra. Voltage is 115 volts.
