RatPac Controls has announced its new 12x200v2 next-generation reverse-phase dimmer. This new dimmer is custom-designed specifically for 120v LED tubes and low-wattage practicals and is rated at 200W.
It provides smooth dimming from 0-100% and 100%-0% and features a built-in CRMX wireless transceiver, a new locking wireless toggle switch, and a new mode select switch.
The 12x200v2 dimmer is equipped with MOSFET technology that allows dimming control of loads down to 1%, making it ideal for low-wattage LEDs, tubes, and practical lights. It also features enhanced electronic circuit protection, eliminating issues with over-amping outlets or plugging in fixtures larger than 200 watts.
Being able to dim practical lights down to 1% without flicker, even those provided by the art department, and control it via wireless DMX allows for efficiency and faster set-up and control.
The 12x200v2 is designed to work well with capacitive loads, especially on the low end, where stable control can be problematic. The modular controller allows for futureproofing of the box, as the technology can be expanded or removed by replacing the controller with a couple of screws.
The 12x200v2 is ETL-certified for use in the US and Canada and is available for demos. There is currently no indication about pricing.
