    Hi All,

    I have the following equiptment for sale that was just removed from my house:

    2xL5508D1A 8 dimmers
    1xL5512RVF 12 relays
    2x5034NL,WE 4 gang switches
    4x5032NL,WE 2 gang switches
    5x5031NL,WE 1 gang switches
    1x5500PC pc interface serial
    1x5000CT mono touch screen and remote
    1x5200CU/2 homeminder
    2x5751L motion sensor
    2x5753L motion sensor

    Everything used and fully working. I believe they are about 5 years old, but I can't confirm. No physical damage or faulty channels. I removed it because I was fitting energy efficient down lights throughout the house and they werent compatible with the c-bus.

    Pickup or post (at buyers expense) from Campbelltown NSW 2560.

    Wow
    That's a big decision to change the whole system just to move to LED downlights.
    Whoever talked you into that obviously is a very good salesman.

    For anyone else in the same position I urge you to look at Pierlite LED downlights which have specs and work really well with CBus dimmers.
    They are not the cheapest LED halogen downlight replacement you can buy but probably a lot cheaper than throwing out all your CBus gear and rewiring your house.

    PM me if you have an offer.

    Was the right decision for my situation, no salesman required!

    Also have 50 odd halogen downlights 90mm cutout white surrounds and 40+w drivers available.

    Maybe at 10 years old or more there can be a good case made for a whole new system.
    A lot of people get on the forum and have a bit of a whinge there is no options for LED lights with CBus dimmers.
    It's not true and I just wanted to point that out.
    There is excellent products available.

    I agree with Daryl, there is a lot LED compatible lighting for CBus.

    Recently completed my daughter and SIL new house with 80 odd lights from down lights, strip LED, fancy chandelier LED all running off 5508DIA dimmers. I wrote up here some testing I did on the downlights and even the Strip LED's from memory.

    Seems radical to rip it out, your choice of course. However excellent results are available you just need to do some homework.

    Brightgreen LED's work really well with the leading edge dimmers. Other brands I've used is Choice Led, and Domus which both dimmed really well also.
