Can you install a wall dimmer on Metal Halide/PC system?

[Dr. Dai Phan]

Hello,

I just bought a Coralife MH/PC with 3X250W MH and 4X96W PC. Can you advise on my question? Thanks DP

why would you want to?

Would a timer not work better?

No, you can not use a dimmer. There are, however, dimmable ballasts which you can buy. It would require you disassemble your fixture, remove the current ballasts and wire in remote dimmable ballasts.
