What is a <strong>dimmer</strong><br />
●It's an adjustable transformer used<br />
<strong>to</strong> vary <strong>the</strong> level of lighting from 0 <strong>to</strong><br />
100% of lighting power<br />
●Fields of application<br />
0 100%<br />

Cus<strong>to</strong>mer benefits<br />
●Provide comfort & energy savings in day-<strong>to</strong>-day life<br />
● Step-less adjustment of lighting level<br />
● Consumption proportional <strong>to</strong> lighting level<br />
(Dim your light by 25% and save 20% of your energy)<br />
●Extended lifetime of filament lamps<br />
● Soft start eliminates inrush current<br />
● Decreasing line voltage by 10% doubles lifetime<br />
●Optimise working comfort & efficiency<br />

●Reduce discomfort<br />
during <strong>the</strong> night or when<br />
you wake up<br />
by switching on<br />
with soft light<br />
When you get home late,<br />
get up early or go <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>ilet during <strong>the</strong> night,<br />

Save energy by reducing<br />
<strong>the</strong> level of lighting<br />
Up <strong>to</strong> 20%<br />
energy savings without losing your living comfort!<br />
● Reduce b<strong>right</strong>ness while you are watching TV (living room, corridor,<br />
kitchen)<br />
● Use <strong>the</strong> energy reduction function offered by our <strong>dimmer</strong> range (20%<br />
savings)<br />

●Dimmers in control cabinet on DIN rail<br />
● Principle:<br />
● Push-but<strong>to</strong>n(s) give <strong>the</strong> information <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> module. The module controls <strong>the</strong> light.<br />
● For all lights (all loads except FLC)<br />
● Main advantage:<br />
● Usually more powerful than wall-mounted products<br />
● Can be controlled by many push-but<strong>to</strong>ns in parallel<br />
● Good for renovation and maintenance due <strong>to</strong> location in <strong>the</strong> control cabinet<br />
