Ati fixture question!

Does ATI make 8x80w dimmable fixture?
I only see the sunpower for sale. Thanks.

No, the 60” 80 watt ATI fixtures are only available in the non dimmable version here in the US. I believe it has something to do with the 80 watt ballasts running on the 120 voltage standard that we run in the US. The 80w dimmable Sunpowers are available in Europe as they use the 220 voltage standard.

The dimmable feature isn't necessary anyways...
I had a dimmable fixture and sold to get a regular one. It needs to be set every time there is a power outage.
I heard that it also shortens the life of the bulbs. Not cool!
I hope that isn't going to scare you out of the Sunpower, because it's the best fixture that I've ever used.
