Is LED lighting dimmable?

Is LED lighting dimmable?

Yes, LED lighting is easy to dim, especially with the right LED dimmer. With dimmable LED lighting there are a few points of attention:
Only LED lighting that is specifically designated as 'dimmable LED lighting' is suitable for this, look in the title or under 'specifications' at the product level.
LED lighting has very low wattage. It is important that the total connected power in watts approaches the start of the dimming range. The dimming range is often specified on the packaging or on the front plate of the dimmer

LED and Halogen lamps dim curve

If you reduce the power of a halogen lamp by 50%, then the halogen lamp is almost off, the LED lamp still gives 50% of its light quantity. This means that many dimmers that are now used for halogen lamps are difficult to fully dim LED lamps.

LED lamp: electrical properties and dimmers

The electronics in an LED lamp base have different electrical properties than an incandescent lamp or halogen lamp. A dimmer must clearly take this into account. In the base of an LED lamp is a (small) electronic transformer. The dimmer must be suitable for this. The packaging and the manual of such a dimmer usually state that it is suitable for electronic transformers. Also, the designation (R, L) is used or the term phase to undercut. Use in this case, the other dimmer (R, C - phase off cutting) then the lamps and/or the dimmer can zoom strong, or flashing lights, vibration or broken. Unfortunately, these dimmers are not the cheapest. The technique of dimmer. For those interested in the technology behind these dimmers. We have two types of electronic dimmers: the phase cut-off dimmer

Save with LED lighting

Image
Save with LED lighting LED lighting is increasingly being used to replace other types of lamps. LED lights are increasingly being used not only in the house and in the garden, but street lighting and agriculture are also increasingly using them. Nowadays, LED lamps are also made that can be used for cars. If you are not yet using LED lighting , you may still be wondering why would I use LED lighting? Below a number of advantages are mentioned that make people choose to use LED lighting. Cost-saving with LED lighting Switching to LED lighting saves costs. A light bulb consumes a lot more watts than an LED bulb . Where an incandescent lamp consumes 25 watts per hour, an LED lamp consumes only 2 watts and yet the same performance is achieved. At the moment the price of one kWh is. Suppose we let a light bulb burn for 1000 hours, this will cost. If we let a LED lamp burn for 1000 hours, this will only cost. This is a big difference and especially if you have a big house where many...

OLED as a light source

Image
OLED as a light source An organic light-emitting diode, commonly used in the form of the acronym OLED, is a light source in the family of semiconductor light sources. This family consists of inorganic LEDs (LED), organic LEDs (OLED) and lasers. While an LED is a bright point source , an OLED is a large surface spotlight . OLED technology is mainly known as the new technology for television and screens for smartphones and tablets. But the OLED technique is also used in other ways. The bright light of OLED technology can perfectly function as the lighting in the home or possibly for companies. The OLED lighting is many times more energy-efficient than, for example, the energy that a light bulb consumes. OLED lifetime What is quite normal with light sources, they degrade over time. This reduces the light intensity and this also happens with the OLED lighting. A lifetime of more than 1000 hours is reported for white polymer OLEDs and more than 10,000 hours for white small molecul...
