    One of the husband's tricks is to secretly dim and brighten the indoor gas lighting, insisting his wife is imagining it. [8] The gerund form gaslighting does not appear in the play or films. [8] It was first used in the 1950s, particularly in the episode of The Burns and Allen Show.

    To house this device, he decided on a 2-inch round device with one end capable of being screwed into a light bulb socket and the other end able to receive a light bulb. [ 4 ] When solid-state dimmers came into use, analogue remote control systems (such as 0-10 V lighting control systems) became feasible.

    The first documented occurrence was in 1952, after the death of actress Gertrude Lawrence, though the house lights inside the theater were dimmed. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] The practice was initially very rare and was repeated only twice in the following quarter-century: for Oscar Hammerstein II in 1960 (involving the dimming of marquee lights, which became ...

    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.

  8. 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Serial_Interface

    Digital Serial Interface (DSI) is a protocol for the controlling of lighting in buildings (initially electrical ballasts).It was created in 1991 by Austrian company Tridonic and is based on Manchester-coded 8-bit protocol, data rate of 1200 baud, 1 start bit, 8 data bits (dimming value), 4 stop bits, and is the basis of the more sophisticated protocol Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI).
