Your Clipsal
C-Bus system may use C-Bus dimmers or C-Bus relays to control lights in your
home. |
| May I use compact fluorescent light bulbs and control these with my
C-Bus dimmers? |
- Yes, but only if you purchase the compact fluoros that are compatible
with C-Bus leading edge dimmers. This way you also retain the convenience and
energy saving benefits of being able to dim your lights!
- You must not use ordinary non-dimmable compact
fluorescent bulbs with C-Bus (or any other type of) dimmers. Even though they may work
when you first install them, they will eventually damage your dimmers.

| May I use compact fluorescent light bulbs with my C-Bus relays? |
- Yes, ordinary energy efficient compact fluorescent bulbs may be turned on and off with
C-Bus relays.
- While you must not exceed the fluorescent light switching capacity of the particular
relays (or switches) installed in your home, when you are replacing the small numbers of
existing incandescent lights normally found in a home with the lower power compact
fluorescent lights, you will be unlikely to approach the maximum limits of your C-Bus
relays, which are in most cases rated at 10A (though some electricians may have installed
5A or 1A C-Bus relays in some installations).
- Contact your local installing C-Bus
Systems Integrator or C-Bus pointOne
professional for more information.
