My new house is a fixer-upper, and on the to-do list were two dimmer switches that did not work. One fed overhead lights; the other fed the lamp in a ceiling fan. Once I pulled the ceiling fan dimmer, ...

One of the biggest challenges for new, energy-efficient CFL and LED-based lights that will replace incandescents is working with existing triac-based dimmer switches. Triac dimmers vary widely in both ...

A solid-state two-wire dimmer solution has been introduced by Amber Solutions and it works without the need for a neutral wire. It is compatible with most lighting and LED technology and allows ...

In general terms, dimmers are devices that vary light level (intensity) of lamps by controlling the amount of power that is delivered to the lamp. Dimming can be controlled by either manual or ...

The ubiquitous triac dimmer can still work with LED lamps, thanks to new ICs. Energy-efficient lighting is in the headlines as we approach the date at which federally mandated efficiency levels for ...

Dialog Semiconductor has improved its LED light dimming intellectual property. “The first LED driver from this new platform, the iW3688, delivers smooth, flicker and shimmer-free dimming supporting ...
