edit opps missed the low voltage part, is it electronic or magnetic...? you can easily get a 1000 watt magnetic, just not is so many flavors... check out lutrons site...

If you need electronic low voltage you have problems but it can be solved however if it is magnetic low voltage Lutron makes one.

There's also the Lutron Feadra (http://www.lutron.com/faedra/?s=17000&t=17200)

Lutron Lyneo LX (http://lutron.com/lyneo/default.asp?s=17000&t=17200) also has them as does many of Lutrons newer styles. I believe the rep told me the Feadra is pretty much a done deal -- seems there was not much interest in it. The are banking on the Lyneo to be the big seller. Of course this is a decora style unit

I have my own stereo plugged into one. The difference in sound quality between the audio grade receptacle and a basic Leviton 5320 is incredible. :cool:

Now that I would buy!!! Almost feel like i'm in Startrek already!

[Dennis Alwon]

Have you seen the NEW Maestro wireless. It comes with a visor remote. Install the switch for a flood light and when you drive up just hit the visor switch.

Little pricey--- about $125. You can buy extra remotes for it at about $50 a pop.

I think you need a special booster to go that high. I havnt read all the tread but the highest LV dimmers go is 600w or something like that.
We just had a job where we had to put in the booster because we needed the 1000w's. But I am getting old and cant remember as we do not do this type of application much. Most of our jobs we have dimmer control panels.

Dennis, most newer cars are already set up with homelink visors, so a remote is not required...

Will they work with Lutron switches? I thought just with garage doors.

Maybe on the fancy cars you buy-- I have it on one -- my camry. My pick up and corolla both newer than the camry don't have it.

That is a really good upsell. Quick easy install, not outrageously priced, and actually usefull.
