2. Joel Spira (businessman) - Wikipedia

   Compared to a rheostat-based circuit, the use of a thyristor greatly increases efficiency, as far less waste heat is generated. Dimming lights with a solid state dimmer also reduces total power draw, unlike rheostat dimmers. Spira's design (and most modern dimmers) rely on the use of AC power, and on the characteristics of incandescent lights.

4. Light switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_switch

   A toggle light switch Internal components of a toggle switch. The toggle mechanism provides "snap-action" through the use of an "over-center" geometry. The design was patented in 1916 by William J. Newton and Morris Goldberg. [2] The switch actuator does not control the contacts directly, but through an intermediate arrangement of springs and ...

5. Dimmer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimmer

   Dimmer in a residential application with RF-based remote control. Non domestic dimmers are usually controlled remotely by means of various protocols. Analogue dimmers usually require a separate wire for each channel of dimming carrying a voltage between 0 and 10 V. Some analogue circuitry then derives a control signal from this and the mains ...

   Thyratron dimmers were manufactured under license from Strand Electric of England. [29] All this started to change in 1958. In 1959 the first commercially viable solid state theatre dimmer, Kliegl's SCR(R), was introduced as model R59. [45] [46] Improved models followed. Within two years, the solid state dimmer had, as a practical matter, swept ...

7. Lighting control console - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighting_control_console

   Many memory consoles have a bank of faders. These faders can be programmed to control a single channel (a channel is a lighting designer's numerical name for a dimmer or group of dimmers) or a group of channels (known as a ""submaster""). The console may also have provision to operate in analog to a manual desk for programming scenes or live ...
