Re: Fw: C-Bus 8 channel relays/dimmers

Thanks all,

So in effect if you wanted your lights in the bedroom i.e just main
roof light to toggle on/off/dim then you would need a whole channel
of your 8 channel dimmer to accomplish this? I am just trying to
price up what my house would cost me to c-bus.

Thanks
