I currently have a 3600 Lumen torchiere lamp in my office. I love that it lights the whole room. It has a physical dimmer knob, and I have it in an outlet with a smart-switch.
However I would love to get a high-lumen lamp like that, which can be dimmed via hubitat.
Anyone aware of options? I couldnt find any.
Can you leave the physical dimmer on max and plug it into a dimming outlet instead?
If you wanted something that was RGB and could be controlled via Hubitat, you could look at Govee Torchiere Floor Lamp with Matter, Alexa Compatible, RGBIC Warm Cool White Standing Lamp with 77 Scene Modes, Music Sync, 67" Modern Floor Lamps for Living Room Bedroom, Black, 172 ft² Light Area - Amazon.com.
Something tells me no cause the power plug is a brick, not just a simple plug. I'm always afraid of a fire with these cheap LED devices.
unfortunately that's only 780 lumen, I'd need 4 of them! haha
How about 2 that are 10,000 lumens each???? hahahaha No mention of dimmable though.
I actually used a couple not this powerful in my garage in previous house and it was a huge upgrade.
I’m sorry, the WAF acceptance factor for a lamp that looks like it came out of the movie Alien is not going to be high.
I used a 15000 lumen version in a friend's garage that was previously lit by a 60W CFL. She LOVED the upgrade!
With such a bright light(s), what ever you decide, make sure you are not exceeding the capability of the switch/Outlet/dimmer you end up using.
Ask me how I know!
Does the brick list the power output to the lamp? Sound like the lamp is low voltage and the dimmer knob is just a potentiometer. Depending on that, you might be able to replace the brick with a dimmable power supply with the same voltage output, and then dim the whole thing with a dimmer outlet.
Slightly bonkers idea, but
hook up a tiny servo motor to the knob, and an esp32 to control the dimmer.
Completely non-destructive method because it just turns the knob like you would. Stick it on with some zipties or VHB tape.
