4.5 LED 12 W Thorn luminaire<br />
Next, a 12 W LED luminaire, manufactured<br />
by Thorn (BaseLed 165 MRE 1x12 W LED)<br />
has been tested; the dimming process was<br />
achieved with the use <strong>of</strong> a triac dimmer<br />
(CO/TECH EMD 200, 40-300 W, 230 V).<br />
The electric, luminous and power quality<br />
characteristics are presented in Table 5.<br />
Figure 7 shows the amplitude variation <strong>of</strong> the<br />
current harmonics <strong>of</strong> the light source during<br />
the dimming process (a), and the voltage and<br />
current wave-shapes (b) for the not dimmed<br />
case and dimmed at different voltage levels,<br />
with the employment <strong>of</strong> the triac dimmer.<br />
The CRI and CCT do not suffer variations<br />
during dimming. The odd current harmonics<br />
have increased amplitudes (especially the third<br />
order), as the voltage amplitude is decreased.<br />

Figure 7 The amplitude variation <strong>of</strong> the current harmonics <strong>of</strong> the light source during the dimming process (a),<br />
and the voltage and current wave-shapes (b): for the not dimmed case (voltage wave-shape – yellow, current<br />
wave-shape – light yellow), and for the mentioned voltage levels, with the employment <strong>of</strong> the triac dimmer<br />
(100% <strong>of</strong> input voltage: voltage wave-shape – orange, current wave-shape – light orange; 75% <strong>of</strong> input voltage:<br />
voltage wave-shape – blue, current wave-shape – light blue; 50% <strong>of</strong> input voltage: voltage wave-shape – green,<br />
current wave-shape – light green).<br />
