Dimming of luminaires
i-bus KNX universal dimmers from ABB were voted Products of the Year in the KNX UK Association annual awards. According to model, they feature a phase control or phase angle control that can be set to suit the lighting load.
Incandescent and fluorescent lamps can be dimmed using the universal dim actuators via a phase angle control. LV halogen lamps with conventional transformers are also dimmed using phase control whilst those with electronic transformers are dimmed using phase angle control.
ABB is a member of the KNX UK Association and their dimming options for lighting are highly desirable as they provide comfort through the creation of a living environment that suits the mood. Dimming is also cost-effective in both commercial and domestic applications as it promotes energy savings by creating lighting levels in accordance with the availability of natural daylight.
