T5 Dimmers Possible?

[hanmisi]

Any one any idea if can incorporate dimmers on t5, from reading see it is possible but really need to know what doing.

Any one on here done or willing to do again?

I am sure it can be done, I know to be able to dim flourescents it gets really expensive with all the stuff needed to be able to do it.

You just have to make sure you have dimmable T5 ballasts. All of the new controllers make it quite easy to dim with T5's as long as you have dimmable ballasts. Mine are incorporated into my Sfiligoi fixture (ballasts). I use my T5's for sunrise and sunset simulation and it's great. It's not necessary at all, but it's a cool feature if you enjoy the many bells and whistles this hobby offers : )
