HQRD-10ND Dimmer Getting Very Hot
Good afternoon,
We have a project where there is a HQRD-10ND dimmer installed in a client's Master Closet which is getting very hot to the touch. The load information is as follows:
- Murray Feiss SF308 (Malibu) fixtures x 5 each
- Each fixture contains three incandescent 60W bulbs
- Max wattage is 900W with all 15 light bulbs
- Electrician has measured the actual max load as installed to be 6.7A
We've replaced the original dimmer once already to make sure it was not the product itself. If we replace the 10ND with a standard toggle switch from Home Depot, the switch doesn't get hot like it does with the 10ND. Any ideas on what could cause this issue and what we can do to remedy it? Perhaps we could install an 8ANS instead of the dimmer?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks much!
