A first dynamic "local dimming" LED backlight was public demonstrated by BrightSide Technologies in 2003, [33] and later commercially introduced for professional markets (such as video post-production). [34] Edge LED lighting was first introduced by Sony in September 2008 on the 40-inch (1,000 mm) BRAVIA KLV-40ZX1M (known as the ZX1 in Europe ...
Joel Solon Spira (March 1, 1927 – April 8, 2015) was an American inventor, entrepreneur, and business magnate.. He invented a version of the light-dimmer switch for use in homes around the United States and led his Lutron Electronics Company into the production of lighting controllers.
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.
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 ...
Legrand S.A. is a French industrial group historically based in Limoges in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Legrand is established in 90 countries [ 3 ] and its products are distributed in nearly 180 countries. [ 4 ]
Control stations can be placed in several locations in the building and range in complexity from single buttons that bring up preset options-looks, to in-wall or desktop LCD touchscreen consoles. Much of the technology is related to residential and commercial lighting control systems.
Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) is a trademark for network-based products that control lighting.The underlying technology was established by a consortium of lighting equipment manufacturers as a successor for 1-10 V/ 0–10 V lighting control systems, and as an open standard alternative to several proprietary protocols.
The original Leviton logo, used from 1924 to circa 1968 Leviton level 2 EV charging station Leviton Headquarters. Leviton was founded in 1906 by Russian immigrants Evser Leviton and his son Isidor Leviton when they began manufacturing brass mantle tips for natural gas lights in Manhattan's Lower East Side.
