Don’t Be Clueless About Dimmers

Dimmers come in various shapes and have varying capabilities. Most of us are accustomed to working with the traditional slide or rotary dimmer to reduce the output level of a light.
But today we also have programmable dimmers and lighting control systems capable of raising and lowering lighting levels and of creating multiple lighting scenes in a room, an entire house, or an entire building. Dimmers can control the ups and downs of window shading and can be used for daylight harvesting.
Dimmers can work with low voltage and line voltage lighting systems. And they work with incandescent, fluorescent, and LED light sources. They can also interact with occupancy sensors and daylight sensors to create energy savings and to enhance security.
With hardwired or wireless configurations, dimmers and lighting controls can be used in new construction and can be retrofitted to existing facilities.
