RE: CBUS and CFL's

["Jonathan Tawn @ Home" <Jonathan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been flicking through an osram catalogue online and notice that
the 4
pin ones look very 'commerical' (because they are)



A quick cbus related note (if this goes ahead i'll be getting myself on the
cbus course - and my current Clipsal literature is in the office at the
moment) does cbus just require a live or a neutral & live to dim?



The client is thinking of wiring 'normally' with extra wiring going to a
cabinet on each floor which can then be adapted to fit cbus at a later
date... if that makes sense? As i understand it, he'll need to wire each
circuit back to each proposed cbus cabinet along with wiring done normally?



Thanks,

Jonathan

AIUI ... to dim fluorescent's, they need to have four pins & to be
operated at high frequency ... the usual compact fluorescents aren't
like this ..
