0-10V dimmable floodlight question

[Ira]

I'm using several 0-10V dimmable LED floodlights at our new home (still under construction). In addition to the 120Vac wires, these lights have "0-10Vdc control wires" between the dimmer switch and the light to control the brightness. I plan on using the appropriate dimmer switches for them.

Anyone know if connecting the two control wires (or capping them separately) at the switch location and using a regular toggle switch to control 120Vac to the light will work, i.e., the switch will turn the light on/off, but it will always be at full brightness when on? Just wondering if this is an acceptable temporary solution if one of the dimmers go out.

Thanks,
Ira

Just to close this out...

I asked the seller of the floodlights I'm using about this. He said the lights can be turned on/off with a regular non-dimmer switch. The lights will turn on with full brightness if the two control wires are capped (not connected) at the switch box.

I tried it with one of the lights and it worked the way he said it would.

Always wondered about that myself, thanks for confirming!
