solid state dimming
Semiconductor device (triac or FET) turns the lights
on and off 120 times per second – saving electricity
and extending bulb life while providing a steady,
flicker-free illumination.
voltage compensation
Special circuitry that maintains the
power delivered to the lamp in the
event of line-voltage variations.
the benefits:
•
save energy as you dim, reduce your utility costs
•
extend lamp life by running the lamps cooler
(tungsten filament evaporates more slowly); reduce
the number of lamps you buy, install and discard
•
dimmer handles full rated wattage capacity
the benefits:
•
flicker free dimming through voltage variations
caused by elevators, chiller pumps, building load
changes or power grid fluctuations
recommended specifications:
Controls shall be solid state, UL listed specifically
for each required load, and capable of dimming full
rated wattage capacity.
recommended specifications:
Dimmer shall include voltage compensation
to stabilize light output from variations in the
AC line-voltage. Dimmers in which the light
output is not held constant with varying AC
line-voltage shall not be acceptable.
Notches and Low Frequency Noise:
100 – 5kHz caused by elevators and large industrial loads
