This circuit shows that dimmers intended for use at mains voltage do not always have to contain a triac. Here, a MOSFET (BUZ41A, 500 V/4.5A) in a diode bridge is used to control the voltage across an ...

Dimming of fluorescent lighting offers significant benefits – giving users control of their own lighting, and realizing energy savings. In certain environments dimming is a must, for instance in a ...

An excellent, easy-to use-dimmer switch that can dim traditionally problematic LED and other lights efficiently and effectively. Sinopé’s latest smart dimming switch takes a more electrically ...

If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may earn a commission. See our ethics statement. Leviton’s entry into the market splits the pricing between the budget Aqara and the high-end Lutron ...

No doubt about it: Jasco’s Enbrighten dimmer makes switch wiring easier. Reverse the line and load wires and the switch won’t work. A voltage tester will tell you which wire is which, but since most ...

The ubiquitous triac dimmer can still work with LED lamps, thanks to new ICs. Energy-efficient lighting is in the headlines as we approach the date at which federally mandated efficiency levels for ...
