Will 1-dimmer work in this installation?

[olly]

I have 11- 162W LED fixtures that will be switched in three seperate rows. 2- rows of 4 and one row of 3 all switched differently. These fixtures are 0-10V. If I put all 11 fixtures on one dimmer only device, will the operation be affected if one of the rows is off?

In other words if I use 1 dimmer for all 11 lights will the dimming functionality work regardless of different lighting zones being switched on or off? I am trying to avoid class 1 to 2 dilima and it would be nice to only have one dimmer for all. I will probably have to call Lutron to figure out which dimmer can handle 11 lights. That will be my next question if I can get by with 1 dimmer.

I apologize for my lack of knowledge and posting so much about 0-10 dimming.

Done it many time in classrooms. I have hundreds of classrooms with 2 or 3 ‘zones’ with just one dimmer. Some are even on different circuits and all work perfectly.

162 watt fixtures? high bay?

you can run them off of one dimmer, or use lutron power packs and pico switches to do anything you want to.
you can have local controls for individual rows, and a master for all of them. a 4 gang plate, and surface mounted
pico switches.

a thought.
