Constant light control

This is incorporated into dimmable lighting installations with the aim of reducing lighting costs, increasing lighting comfort and promoting individuality.This form of control is based on a dimmable ECG with a 1-10 V interface or DALI in combination with appropriate sensors. A distinction is made between automatic controllers, manual controllers and complex controllers. The choice of appropriate 1-10V dimmer components depends to a large extent on the application.The lighting system is controlled by light sensors according to the amount of available daylight, so full use is made of free natural sunlight. Energy savings of up to 60% are possible, rising to 70% if motion detectors, time switches and sensors with automatic disconnection circuits are used.
