Each month, our Lighting Controls Department Manager, Clint Conley, offers insight and advice about lighting controls. Clint, a licensed professional electrical engineer, brings over 15 years of construction, engineering, and lighting controls experience to the table. He takes the often confusing topic of lighting controls, and presents information in a straightforward and concise manner.
As the lighting industry shifts to all electronic loads, dimming of fixtures can be problematic. Not all electronic loads behave the same when dimmed, and there are no standards today to govern the industry. As was discussed in previous Clint's Controls Corner offerings, 0-10V or
4-wire dimming is by far the most reliable for LED fixtures. This type of dimming should be used whenever possible to ensure trouble-free dimming behavior. When 2-wire dimming must be used, it is helpful to find dimmer compatibility information from the fixture manufacturer or test the combination of dimmer and fixture.
