Dimmable Lighting
Dimmable 1-10V
1-10V DIM ADJUSTING
Characteristics of 1-10V Dim Adjusting
- In 1-10V dim adjusting, the driver generates an analogue signal of 1V (minimum) to 10V maximum, which reaches the dimmer switch which modulates it.
- It is possible to do it with different types of dimmer switch (possibility of using PUSH).
- It is possible to connect different types of sensors.
- Dim adjustment is done in a smooth way reducing the chance of flickering occurring. This chance is always very slim when compared to other types of dim adjustment, such as phase cutting, for example.
- DOES NOT generate noise.
Conditions for Use
- Needs L and N power plus two additional cables with “+” and “-” polarity for the analogue signal.
- The dimmer switch must be compatible with LED without indicator lights. The characteristics of the dimmer switch must be taken into account in order to know the maximum number of devices to be connected.
- It is possible to reuse old technology 1-10V dimmers, as long as the manufacturer recommends it.
- Dim adjusts from 1 to 100%. If no dimmer switch with ON/OFF function is added it will NEVER turn off.
- It is NOT possible to dim adjust using a rotary dimmer switch from several points when a direct dimmer switch is in place. Several switches in parallel connected to a dim adjustment panel for 1-10V driver control via switch WOULD BE possible.
- Allows for appropriate use with a variety of twilight sensors, presence detectors, motion detectors, etc.
Recommendations for use
- New or existing installations, in which it is possible to install the control wiring.
- When smooth dim adjustment is needed, generally controlled with rotary dimmer switch, without the presence of flickering.
- When dim adjustment connected to twilight sensors or detectors of presence, movement, etc. is required (educational use, offices…)
- Professional installations.

Dimmable PUSH Direct
PUSH DIRECT DIM ADJUSTMENT
Characteristics of PUSH Direct Dim Adjustment
- In PUSH direct dim adjustment the driver internally adjusts its potentiometer 1-10V, working in the same way as 1-10V dim adjustment but controlled directly using a switch.
- It must be done with conventional switches (there is NO need for any additional dim adjustment panels).
- Dim adjustment is smooth thereby reducing the chances of flickering occurring. This chance is always very slim when compared to other types of dim adjustment, such as phase cutting, for example.
- Desynchronisation may occur. This is usually reversed and generally by means of keeping it pushed down for a certain length of time or with a certain push sequence.
- DOES NOT generate noise.
DIM ADJUSTMENT USING PHASE CUTTING
Characteristics of Dim Adjustment using PHASE CUTTING
- Dim adjustment is done by cutting the waveform from the network at the beginning (leading) or at the end (trailing) of the phase.
- You can do it with different types of dimmer switch (option of using PUSH).
- It can generate noise in the driver.
- At low light intensities, flickering can occur (dimmer switches usually have a minimum selector). The minimum is normally set at 20%.
Recommendations for Use
– Existing installations where NO wiring can be added.
– When you need to save on dim adjustment.
– Small and basic installations.
Dimmable DALI
Characteristics of DALI Dim adjustment
- In DALI dim adjustment the driver is controlled digitally by means of specific software that transmits the commands to a DALI controller which transmits them through the DALI protocol to luminaires, blinds, doors, etc.
- It allows you to control different elements of a house from the same point.
- It allows you to control luminaires of the same circuit, jointly or independently. Each luminaire has an address within the system.
- Dim adjustment is done in a specific way and a numerically determined value can be programmed.
- It is possible to control luminaires through this system with sensors, control panels, dimmer switches, etc.
- Each bus (two wires) can manage up to 64 devices in a maximum of 16 groups.
- With DALI, desynchronisation is avoided
