The CLS-EXP-DIMFDB enables the expansion of Crestron iLux® Integrated Lighting System (CLS-C6 series) and other Crestron® lighting dimmers to allow control of 3-wire electronic fluorescent dimming ballasts. A single model supports 120, 230, or 277 Volt loads up to 16 Amps. Any output channel of the iLux system can be used to control the CLS-EXP-DIMFDB to dim a fully loaded circuit. It is also compatible with CLW-Series[1] in-wall dimmers and select CLX-Series lighting control modules[2].

The CLS-EXP-DIMFDB is designed for mounting to a vertical surface[3], and can be installed in an environmental air-handling space above a suspended ceiling. Conduit knockouts are provided on the bottom and lower sides. All connections are made via screw terminals behind the front cover.
