Our Voltimum Experts answer your questions on a daily basis in our Technical Expertise area. This one, concerning fluorescent lighting, dimming and energy saving, is answered by Cooper Lighting and Safety:
Question: I'm looking to dim my fluorescent lighting. How can I achieve this for energy saving?
Answer: You need to have special dimming control gear to achieve this. There are a number of options, but typically these will be as follows:
1. DSI, which is controlled by an additional global digital signal.
2. DALI generally as above, but each unit has a dedicated address.
3. Analogue (1-10V) controlled by an additional low voltage.
Please contact your Cooper representative for the control equipment required to meet your requirement.
