Default Dimming Groups of lights with dedicated switches

I am planning on installing recessed lighting in my basement and would
like to control these lights with dedicated switches on the same
circuit. Here is the scenario:

Group #1 - 6, 75W cans controlled by Dimmer #1
Group #2 - 10 50W cans controlled by Dimmer #2
Group #3 - 2 75W cans controlled by Dimmer #3

I plan to do this on a dedicated 15A, 120V circuit. I am not trying
to implement 3-way or 4-way switching.

Could someone describe, or better yet point me in the direction of an
illustration/diagram for this type of scenario?

Thanks,

Marc Mueller


http://www.selfhelpandmore.com/ has lots of info and diagrams. Use
600 watt dimmers. Your total watts is less than 80% of a 15 amp
circuit, so you're good to go.
