2. Dimmer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimmer

   This circuit is called a leading-edge dimmer or forward phase dimming. Waveform of the output voltage of a thyristor dimmer set for 60 volts RMS output, with 120 V input. The red trace shows the output device switching on about 5.5 ms after the input (blue) voltage crosses zero.

3. Compact fluorescent lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_fluorescent_lamp

   The dimmer switch used in conjunction with a dimmable CFL must be matched to its power consumption range; [58] many dimmers installed for use with incandescent bulbs do not function acceptably below 40 W, whereas CFL applications commonly draw power in the range 7–20 W. Dimmable CFLs have been marketed before suitable dimmers are available.

4. 0-10 V lighting control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0-10_V_lighting_control

   Dimming fluorescent ballasts and dimming LED drivers often use 0–10 V control signals to control dimming functions. In many cases, the dimming range of the power supply or ballast is limited. If the light output can only be dimmed from 100% down to 10%, there must be a switch or relay available to kill power to the system and turn the light ...

5. 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 ...

6. LED lamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LED_lamp

   LED emitters are inherently suitable for dimming, because they can operate over a wide range of currents without significant change of color. However, the circuits in LED lamps must be explicitly designed to be dimmable and compatible with particular types of dimmer switch. [105] Otherwise damage to the lamp and/or the dimmer may result.

7. Electrical ballast - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_ballast

   A dimmable ballast is very similar to a rapid start ballast, except that the autotransformer is connected to a dimmer. A quadrac type light dimmer can be used with a dimming ballast, which maintains the heating current while allowing lamp current to be controlled. A resistor of about 10 kΩ is required to be connected in parallel with the ...
