I installed a spacer system a few months back. I have a 4 gang box with 3 dimmers and a master controller.
The dimmers are installed as such:
Dimmer 1 | Dimmer 2 | Dimmer 3 | Master
SBS-1000 | SBS-600 | SBS 1000 |
Dimmer 1 is running 8 Recessed Cans with 75watt bulbs and is the one that is getting hot. According to the Lutron people, being in a 4 gang box and only removing the tabs from the right side should only downgrade the box a little.
Is it typical that these dimmers got hot? When I saw hot, I mean if I put my finger on the aluminum tabs, I can only keep it there for a few seconds before it burns.
Should I be concerned with this? I haven't put the dryall on this wall yet and still have access to easily get to the box etc.
THanks,
Jeff
