Lutron® | why dim fl uorescent 

The benefi ts of dimming 

Create enticing ambiance 

Dimming creates a rich visual experience and adds 

fl exibility to any room, providing the right lighting 

environment for a variety of activities. 

Save electricity, maintain lamp life, and 

save the environment 

Dimming saves electricity and reduces the demand on 

HVAC systems. Dimming fl uorescent lighting instead 

of repeated switching helps to maintain lamp life. 

Give employees greater personal control 

Allowing employees to set preferred light levels 

for specifi c tasks results in greater employee 

comfort and improved performance. 

Combine lighting control strategies to 

enhance building performance 

Using occupancy sensors, daylight sensors and time 

clocks with fl uorescent dimming can help manage 

the lighting in an entire building and further reduce 

electric demand. 

Dimming fl uorescents saves energy 

Fluorescent lighting uses much less power 

than incandescent lighting. In a typical 

installation, a 32 watt compact fl uorescent 

lamp provides approximately the same light 

output as a 100 watt incandescent lamp. 

As both sources are dimmed, fl uorescent 

lamps continue to be a more energy 

effi cient light source.

Lutron® | quality 

Superior components 

Lutron ballasts are manufactured to the highest 

level of quality, using carefully selected components. 

Maximum ballast lifetime is achieved by using only 

long-life components with signifi cant performance 

history. In many cases, Lutron works with component 

suppliers to design custom parts in order to improve 

overall ballast quality. 

Additionally, Lutron uses only metal ballast 

enclosures, allowing for optimal heat transfer 

to the lighting fi xture. 

Thermal Foldback 

Lutron’s patented Thermal Foldback technology 

is included in high-power ballasts, and actively 

monitors the ballast temperature. Power delivery 

to the lamps is automatically reduced, or “folded 

back”, to regulate ballast temperature, with minimal 

impact on light output. Thermal Foldback is designed 

to activate only if the ballast calibration point exceeds 

its rating. This maintains the ballast temperature to 

within 5ºC of its rating, preventing premature ballast 

failure from overheating. In a properly designed 

application, Thermal Foldback will not engage. 

Refer to Fluorescent Dimming Systems Technical 

Guide P/N 366-606 for information about proper 

installation and the calibration point. 


Failure Rate 

100% Test 

Lutron tests the performance of every ballast prior to 

shipment. This important step eliminates ballasts that 

do not meet specifi cations. 

100% Burn-in 

Lutron “burns in” every ballast prior to shipment. 

Defects due to faulty components are screened 

out in this process, resulting in a dramatic reduction 

of early failures in the fi eld. 

Extending ballast lifetime 

All electronic ballasts use components with a fi nite 

lifetime. A major factor for ballast lifetime is operating 

temperature. Lutron dimming ballasts are designed 

to maximize ballast lifetime. 

You have an opportunity to extend the lifetime of the 

ballast even further by designing or choosing fi xtures 

that operate the ballast at a lower temperature. For 

every 10ºC reduction in ballast case temperature, 

the ballast lifetime will be doubled.

Lutron® | ballast control types 

In addition to offering ballasts with different low-end 

dimming levels, Lutron offers dimming ballasts with 

a variety of industry-standard control options. 

Hot 

Dimmed Hot 

Neutral 

3-wire 

3-wire control is a line-voltage phase-control dimming method. 

Along with Hot and Neutral, the dimming signal is communicated 

via a third wire called Dimmed Hot. All three wires are rated Class 1 

and can be run within the same conduit. 3-wire control is stable over 

long wire runs, allows for maximum circuit loading, and is very easy 

to wire. 

Dimmed Hot 

Neutral 

2-wire 

2-wire control is a line-voltage phase-control dimming method. 

The ballast receives the dimming signal through the Dimmed Hot 

wire. Intended for small-scale retrofi t applications, the 2-wire control 

method is often the easiest way to implement dimming in existing 

fl uorescent fi xtures. 

Hot 

Neutral 

Control (+) 

Control (–) 

0-10V 

0-10V control is a low-voltage DC dimming method. Power 

wires are rated Class 1 and control wires are rated Class 2. 

This separation allows multiple circuits to use the same dimming 

signal without additional power equipment. 0-10V control is not 

recommended for dimming below 10%, as fi xture-to-fi xture 

tracking can be signifi cantly affected by control wire length. 

Hot 

Neutral 

Control 

Control 

Multi-input digital 

Multi-input digital control is a wired communication technology that 

facilitates individual ballast addressing, connection of multiple control 

devices, and control of ballasts individually or in groups. The digital 

wires are polarity insensitive and may be wired in any topology. Digital 

communication wires may be run with the mains voltage (Class 1) or 

isolated from mains (Class 2). Multi-input digital control allows for the 

quick connection of devices and re-confi gurability. 


Lutron® | digitally addressable dimming ballasts 

A revolution in light control for 

open offi ces and classrooms 

A breakthrough in fl uorescent lighting control, 

multi-input digital control solutions start with a 

simple but essential building block–a digitally 

addressable dimming ballast–which replaces a 

non-dim ballast in a fi xture. Hi-lume® 3D and 

EcoSystem are examples of digitally addresable 

ballasts. Benefi ts: 

Simple to design 

• Fewer components 

• Can be wired topology- and polarity-free 

• No interfaces required 

Easy to maintain 

• No reprogramming when components are replaced 

• Infi nite re-confi gurability without Class 1 rewiring 

Cost effective 

• Costs less than other solutions available today 

• Fewer parts and pieces to install

Lutron® | measured light vs. perceived light 

The human eye responds to low light levels by 

enlarging the pupil, allowing more light to enter the 

eye. This response results in a difference between 

measured and perceived light levels. A lamp 

that is dimmed to 10% of its maximum measured 

light output is perceived as being dimmed to 

only 32%. Likewise, a lamp dimmed to 1% 

is perceived to be at 10%.

Architectural dimming 

Architectural spaces often have a strong 

focus on aesthetics and comfort, creating an 

environment that portrays class and distinction. 

Architects and designers create these spaces 

for maximum versatility and require subtle 

control of the lighting. At Lutron, we design 

fl uorescent dimming ballasts to respond 

to the fi nest lighting adjustments required. 

Hi-lume® dimming ballasts allow control 

of your fl uorescent lights through full-range 

100% to 1% light output, providing the 

greatest available functionality for architectural 

fl uorescent lighting.

Hi-lume® | 1% 

Hi-lume 1% applications 

For years, 1% dimming has been the standard 

for conference room lighting. 1% CFL (compact 

fl uorescent lamps) dimming has opened up new 

areas for fl uorescents, giving required performance 

while meeting strict energy codes. 

In restaurants, combining Hi-lume with inviting, 

colored refl ectors creates a warm and intimate 

atmosphere for distinctive dining. 

Patient care areas need dimmed lights at 

night, but require bright light and true color 

rendering for accurate medical examinations. 

Fluorescent sources, with their consistent 

color temperature throughout the dimming 

range, are an ideal source. 

Partitioned spaces, like conference rooms 

or ballrooms, require 1% dimming for specifi c 

tasks, allowing for a variety of activities to use 

the same space.

Hi-lume® 3D | features 

Enhanced dimming, high ballast factor, 

and improved effi ciency 

Hi-lume 3D delivers superior performance 

compared to other ballasts. It provides enhanced 

dimming, giving you the broadest range of light 

levels so you’ll always use the right light for the 

task at hand. It offers a high ballast factor for more 

light per fi xture so you can use fewer fi xtures in the 

space, saving money and time on lighting installation 

and maintenance costs. Furthermore, Hi-lume 3D 

is energy effi cient as evidenced by its high effi cacy/ 

lumens per watt rating. Hi-lume 3D gives you the 

most light for a watt of power compared to nearly 

all other ballasts. Hi-lume 3D is the superior choice 

because you get better performance, effi ciently.
