3-Wire LED Light Fixture

Hello,

I'm new here, so I apologize in advanced if my question is not clear.

I'm designing a HomeWorks QS system and need to confirm the load type and the correct control parts required for the system to work properly.

I have a LIGHTHEADED downlight fixture that calls for "Lutron 3-Wire (1%)" and I selected the load type as "LED 3-wire". When I'm landing the loads in the modules it automatically adds a "PHPM-3F-120" interface at each output.

Is there another way around it? Or this is the only way to do it right?

Am I selecting the wrong load type? I was going to attached the light fixture spec, but couldnt do it.
The fixture is: LIGHTHEADED L4X-F-RA

Thank you,

Miguel.

There is other ways of doing accomplishing 3 wire dimming with QS. However they will all require more hardware. For example they offer 3 wire RF dimmers but since you already have a RPM panel the PHPM-3F-120 is a better choice


The real issue here is that the wrong type of driver was selected for the fixture when using this fixture with Lutron Homeworks They do offer 2 wire dimming where it could have been used direct wire to the RPM. The down is the dimming range usually only down to 10% vs 1% on 3 wire or Eco

I would recommend familiarizing yourself with LED dimming types If these fixtures and Qs were designed as a system you may have been able to give a less expensive setup with better control using Lutron Eco. Most likely these fixtures were specified by a designer with no consideration for control and dimming. I understand your pain !! been there and once you get more familiar with LED dimming types it will give you a huge understanding of the LED world where there are no standards and its everyman for himself. LOL

Thank you so much for your prompt response!
The light fixtures are being provided by the electrical contractor and we had specified a QS system to put the proposal together before the cut sheets were available. I believe there is still time for them to change the fixture specifications.
It would be a lot easier if we were also providing the fixtures.

clicked and responded before realizing I was in a HWQS sub-forum. Sorry!
