Lutron | Understanding Lutron ballasts and drivers Lutron | Understanding Lutron ballasts and drivers Dimming fluorescent light saves energy Lutron quality Fluorescent lighting uses much less power than incandescent lighting. In a typical installation, a 32 W compact fluorescent lamp provides approximately the same light output as a 100 W incandescent lamp. As both sources are dimmed, fluorescent lamps continue to be more energy efficient.
Lutron | Understanding Lutron ballasts and drivers Lutron | Understanding Lutron ballasts and drivers Measured light vs. perceived light Selecting a Lutron ballast or driver ® The human eye responds to low light levels by enlarging the pupil, allowing more light to enter the eye. This response results in a difference between measured and perceived light levels. ® A lamp that is dimmed to 10% of its maximum measured light output is perceived as being dimmed to only 32%.

Ballasts and | Ballasts anddrivers drivers Fluorescent and LED lighting is used widely in educational, institutional and commercial buildings. They meet energy-conscious design criteria such as ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1 standards and LEED® guidelines. Fluorescent and LED lighting is also increasingly found in residential spaces, especially in recessed downlights and coves. Dimming fluorescent lighting instead of repeated switching helps maintain lamp life and also saves energy.

Lutron dimming ballasts cannot be used with instant-start lamps. luminous efficacy The ratio of light emitted to the power required for a light source or luminaire. Commonly used to measure energy efficiency, it is the lumens per watt from a light source (amount of light per watt of power).
