Detail 01
Dimmer pack
Sits between wall power and your lamps, varying voltage so lights fade up and down instead of just switching on.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A packaged dimmer setup for small stages and DJ rigs running conventional lamp fixtures. For someone lighting a room without a full lighting console already in place.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Small stages and clubs running par cans or other lamp fixtures
- DJs who want fades and blackouts instead of flipping power switches
- A first lighting rig, where a bundle beats sourcing parts separately
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- LED fixtures, which dim through their own electronics, not mains voltage
- Larger rigs needing more circuits or higher per-channel current
- Anyone who already owns a dimmer pack and controller
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
DMX control
Levels arrive over a daisy-chained control cable, so one console drives every channel and you can build cues and chases.
Detail 03
Package format
Fewer separate purchases to get running, at the cost of the parts being chosen for you rather than by you.
Detail 04
Runs off a wall circuit
Every lamp on the pack draws from the outlet you plug into. Total wattage has to fit inside that breaker.
Detail 05
$429.99
Entry-to-mid territory. Expect a handful of dimmed circuits, not a touring-grade rack pack with per-channel breakers.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Add up your lamp wattage and confirm the outlet and breaker can carry it
- 02Dimmers buzz audibly — mount the pack away from microphones and the front of stage
- 03Keep spare lamps; bulbs are the consumable in any conventional lighting rig
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this dim my LED lights?
No. LED fixtures regulate output through their own drivers and take DMX at the fixture. Choking the mains voltage instead causes flicker, dropout, or damage. Plug LEDs into unswitched power.
02Do I need a lighting controller too?
Something has to send the levels. A dimmer pack acts on DMX from a console, software interface, or lighting desk, so plan on having one in the signal chain.
03What kind of lights can I plug in?
Conventional lamp fixtures — par cans, fresnels, floods, anything that is essentially a bulb in a housing. Fixtures with onboard electronics belong on constant power.
04How many fixtures can I run?
Amperage decides it, not fixture count. Total the wattage on each channel against that channel's rating, then check the combined load against the supply circuit.
