Low Voltage Spots with LOR?

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

Is there an existing thread that discusses using MR16 spots with LOR?

I'd like to know how to do it ... if it is possible.

Thanks,

Tom,

It sounds like if it's lower voltage that the LOR controller output, you'll have to get a step down transformer in between the light and the controller.

Tom,

I seem to remember reading somewhere here that channels 1 - 8 of the LOR boards can be fed independently with a different voltage (i.e. low) than channel 9 - 16. The logic etc. is powered from the AC feed on the side of the board where channels 9 - 16 are but, if you don't install the "hot" & "neutral" links and then feed the left side (i.e. channels 1 - 8 side) of the board with your different voltage, you will have 8 channels running low voltage (channels 1 - 8) and 8 channels running regular voltage (120V in your case) I cannot find the thread which included this info, but I'm sure Dan and crew will correct me if I'm dangerously incorrect :shock:

I use the MC-PD Modular Controller Processor - Deluxe and two of MC-TB08
8 Channel Triac Board.

I have a 12v ac @20amp transformer that feed ea of the 8 Channel Triac Board and run the MR16 flood.

At this time you will have to wait tell the new MC-P V2 Controller come out :{ soon

That is something that some people have done successfully. The lower (or higher) voltage has to be AC. The transformer that is used to change the voltage will introduce a slight phase shift. Depending on how much the shift is, there may be issues with performance.
