    Im looking for dimming capability for the crossfire LED lighting. I would like to use the product but with dimming and a motion sensor is this possible? If so can you send me a diagram how to do it? I know how the 24v LED lights work with a driver, controller and sensor but the crossfire you just use the 110v supply and thats it? Please let me know how I can better understand your product.
    Thank You

    Bill,
    The Crossfire LED’s do not have dimming capability, however Polaris LED’s can be dimmed and have the built in capability to be controlled by motion sensors. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlcttd9cyV8 This video will show you what can be done when motion sensors are equipped. Contact Gemtron at 800.326.2717 for technical info of setting them up.

    Trying to figure out why one of my sections of door led lighting is now blinking. We shut down cooler overnight to paint shelving, then turned it back on in am. One section (5 doors) lighting on that switch, now blinks constantly. It kind of goes from dim to bright then off rapidly and keeps repeating cycle. Any idea how to fix? It’s a Schott Polaris — door system is Schott Gemtron
