*Note: The Rapid Start feature is used to ensure the right amount of power boost during start-up. When a dimmer with Rapid Start is turned on from a low dimmer setting, the LED lighting may exhibit a momentary ﬂash.

Designated dimmer models offer an adjustment of the Rapid Start feature. The user may wish to adjust this setting to reduce the boost and resulting momentary ﬂash. If this capability is desired, the user should select dimmer

models noted as “fully adjustable” or “selectable ON or OFF”.

Dimmer Notes: 1) Start time is measured at the lowest dimmer setting. 2) Some LED dimmers have a "rapid start" design used to provide a momentary power boost to LED and CFL lamps during start-up. When a LED luminaire is on a dimmer with "rapid start" the boost may cause a momentary flash of the LED lighting. This "flash" is generated by the dimmer, and may be more noticeable when the dimmer is at a low setting.

Application Note - H277, H347 and H347200 step-down transformers are qualified to drive multiple Halo LED on a single circuit in Non-IC construction. Installation of these transformers with individual LED fixtures on circuits with multiple LED loads is not recommended. This is not recommended due to resulting multiple inductive currents pulled by each transformer; in this situation the majority of the power would then be reactive (VARS) and not real (WATTS).
