What this tells me is I can use three, 1 amp power supplies on this dimmer switch.If I want to control more amps I can switch to the DVLV-103P at 800W max load. This should give me: 800W ÷120V = 6.66 amps. Six, 1 amp power supplies on this dimmer switch.Is my math right? Is my thinking right?Is there a higher wattage dimmer switch available.Thanks!
