Users can easily reduce energy usage with dimmers. Dimming technology has evolved considerably over the last decade, especially in the arc discharge lamp category. What began as a device for simply ...

Dimming fluorescent lamps is an attractive feature that provides mood and brightness effects as well as having tremendous energy savings potential. Designing a dimmable electronic ballast, however, is ...

A dual-channel step-down LED driver, the LT3964 from Linear Technology packs 40 V, 1.6 A power switches and an I 2 C interface for dimming control. Operating over an input voltage range of 4 V to 36 V ...

In general terms, dimmers are devices that vary light level (intensity) of lamps by controlling the amount of power that is delivered to the lamp. Dimming can be controlled by either manual or ...

Meeting the specs outlined in the Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) standard, which is an addendum to the IEC929 electronic ballast standard, the IRPLDIM2 reference design melds on a ...

With dimming levels down to 10%, a new IC minimizes component count to improve dimming-circuit speed, simplify design, and open up new dimming applications. Designing Dimming Circuits for Fluorescent ...

Wireless Flex Dimming offers growers an easy and cost-effective solution to scale operations from a single room to thousands of lights per installation. The new controls enable growers to add fixtures ...

The LT3796-1 is a switching controller designed to regulate a constant current or constant voltage at the output—necessary requirements for driving LEDs. It uniquely features two independent current ...

[Frank] decided to augment his desk lamp’s features by adding dimming controls (translated). Since the light source is a triad of LEDs the best method of dimming their intensity is to use Pulse Width ...

This isn’t the be-all, end-all lighting-control system, but it’s both convenient and it can solve a common problem, especially in older homes. Philips’ Hue connected LED light bulbs are among my ...
