Newbie level 3
So here's the issue....
I have a 600watt dimmer running 3 x 15watt dimmable CFLs connected in parallel (so I believe 45watts in total). When I turn the dimmer on, the lights go from barely on to full brightness by the 2nd step, and anything more puts the dimmer into what seems to be a fault protection mode where it flashes the lights on and off every second. I was wondering how I could limit the power being distributed to the lights so that the brightest level of the dimmer would only push 45watts to the bulbs, and would give an gradual increase of brightness throughout.
Hope this makes sense, and any help is appreciated. Thanks!
