The development of automatic headlight systems at General Motors can be traced back to the early 1950s. In 1952, GM introduced the Autronic Eye, an automatic headlight dimming system, for Oldsmobile and Cadillac models. [2] Twilight Sentinel, which expanded on the concept of automatic lighting control, was introduced in the mid-1960s.
The power control in a C-Bus system lies in a “Dimmer” or “Relay” which is installed in the DB and replaces the traditional switch used in conventional wiring. This Dimmer (or Relay) has a 120/230 V Line interconnection directly to the ceiling light and a neutral connection back from the ceiling light to the Dimmer. The Dimmer will ...
Since it was the top-line Oldsmobile, the series had the most technologically advanced items available, such as the Hydramatic automatic transmission, the Autronic Eye, an automatic headlight dimmer, and Twilight Sentinel (a feature that automatically turned the headlights on and off via a light sensor and a delay timer, as controlled by the ...
General Motors introduced the first automatic headlight dimmer called the "Autronic Eye" in 1952 on their Cadillac, Buick, and Oldsmobile models; the feature was offered in other GM vehicles starting in 1953. [148] [149] The system's phototube and associated circuitry were housed in a gunsight-like tube atop the dashboard. An amplifier module ...

A thyristor dimmer rack An electrical schematic for a typical SCR-based light dimmer Solid-state , or semiconductor , dimmers were introduced to solve some of these problems. Semiconductor dimmers switch on at an adjustable time (phase angle) after the start of each alternating-current half-cycle, thereby altering the voltage waveform applied ...
Wendy Williams' health has taken a turn for the worse amid her battle with dementia and aphasia. The former "Wendy Williams Show" host, 60, has become "cognitively impaired and permanently ...
A twilight switch is an electronic component that allows the automatic activation of a lighting circuit when natural light drops in a given environment. Among a large number of uses, the most common is to enable automatic lighting of streets, roads, highways, roads, gardens, courtyards, etc., when sunlight drops below a certain level (e.g.: a ...
