The benefits of dimming
- Create enticing ambiance
Dimming creates a rich visual experience and adds flexibility to any room, providing the
right lighting environment for a variety of activities.
Give employees greater personal control
Allowing employees to set preferred light levels for specific tasks results in greater employee
comfort and improved performance. Save electricity, maintain lamp life, and save the environment
Dimming saves electricity and reduces the demand on HVAC systems. Dimming fluorescent lighting instead
of repeated switching helps to maintain lamp life.
Combine lighting control strategies to enhance building performance
Using occupancy sensors, daylight sensors and timeclocks with fluorescent dimming can
help manage the lighting in an entire building and further reduce electric demand. |
Dimming fluorescents saves energy
Fluorescent lighting uses much less power than incandescent lighting. In a typical
installation, a 32-watt compact fluorescent lamp provides approximately the same light output as a 100-watt
incandescent lamp. As both sources are dimmed, fluorescent lamps continue to be a more energy efficient light
source.
