How to Use the Dimmer Wattage Calculator

The Dimmer Wattage Calculator helps you determine the maximum wattage that can be controlled by a dimmer based on the number of bulbs and their wattage.

  1. Enter the number of bulbs you want to control.
  2. Enter the wattage of each bulb.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to get the maximum wattage for the dimmer.
  4. Use the result to choose a dimmer that can handle the total wattage.

Working Principle

The calculator uses the formula: Maximum Wattage for Dimmer = Number of Bulbs × Bulb Wattage. This formula helps ensure that the dimmer you choose can handle the total load without overheating or malfunctioning.

Example

If you have 3 bulbs, each with a wattage of 60W, the maximum wattage for the dimmer would be 180W (3 × 60W).
