2. Dimmer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimmer

   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 ...

3. Light switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_switch

   Two light switches in one box. The switch on the right is a dimmer switch. The switch box is covered by a decorative plate. The first light switch employing "quick-break technology" was invented by John Henry Holmes in 1884 in the Shieldfield district of Newcastle upon Tyne. [1]

   Adding 4 recessed lights on a dimmer switch is under $200/room and is such a quality of life improvement, it's a no brainer. An honorable mention - sheds can be nice as they free up a ton of space ...

5. Light fixture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_fixture

   A light fixture (US English), light fitting (UK English), or luminaire is an electrical lighting device containing one or more light sources, such as lamps, and all the accessory components required for its operation to provide illumination to the environment. [1] All light fixtures have a fixture body and one or more lamps.

6. Lighting control console - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighting_control_console

   Many modern consoles can control Intelligent lighting (lights that can move, change colors and gobo patterns), fog machines and hazers, and other special effects devices. Some consoles can also interface with other electronic performance hardware (i.e. sound boards , projectors , media servers , automated winches and motors, etc.) to improve ...

7. Distribution board - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_board

   In a theatre, a specialty panel known as a dimmer rack is used to feed stage lighting instruments. A U.S. style dimmer rack has a 208Y/120 volt 3-phase feed. Instead of just circuit breakers, the rack has a solid state electronic dimmer with its own circuit breaker for each stage circuit. This is known as a dimmer-per-circuit arrangement. The ...

8. Wireless light switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_light_switch

   Dimmer light switch with RF-based remote control [1] A wireless light switch is a light switch that commands a light or home appliance to turn itself off or on, instead of interrupting the power line going to the light fixture. There are different ways to communicate between the switch and the fixture: [2]

9. Voltage controller - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_controller

   A Voltage controller thyristor based dimmer rack An electrical schematic for a typical SCR-based light dimmer. A voltage controller, also called an AC voltage controller or AC regulator is an electronic module based on either thyristors, triodes for alternating current, silicon-controlled rectifiers or insulated-gate bipolar transistors, which converts a fixed voltage, fixed frequency ...
