Why Dim LEDs?
Dimming LEDs saves energy at an approximate 1:1 ratio.
This means by dimming the LEDs to 50% of their light
output, the LEDs’ energy usage will decrease by nearly
50%. Dimming LEDs also makes them run cooler, which
extends the life of the driver, as well as doubling or tripling
the LEDs lumen maintenance. Select the dimming type,
then schedule settings and, in the case of Dual Circuit,
add optional motion sensor. LED luminaires really earn
their worth when controls are applied. Consider choosing
one of the following options to achieve the ultimate return
on your investment.
1. Analog 0 – 10 Volt
A pre-installed 0 - 10 volt driver enables the fixture to be
operated by a separately-provided control system.
2. Dual Circuit (DC)
Separate driver circuits provide two levels of light
(high and low) without requiring a controller. Can be tied to
an optional motion sensor.
3. Event-Based Dimming (EB)
Luminaires arrive installed with controls that are preprogrammed
to trigger up to five, timed events of varying
dimming percentages.
See the Event-Based Dimming Example Chart below.
4. Wireless Controls (WC)
Enables event-based dimming to be modified remotely
after pre-programmed fixtures are installed.
• Triggers up to 32 events.
• Provides outage notifications.
• Monitors energy consumption.
Optional Motion Sensor
Activity close to the luminaire triggers an event of 100%
brightness lasting for several minutes. Afterwards,
illumination returns to the level of the current event.
Examples:
• Two drivers → a 50% reduction in output.
• Three drivers → a 33% or 67% reduction in output.
