Navigating the Complexities of Dimming Modern Residential Lighting
This white paper explores the technical challenges of dimming residential lighting as the industry shifts from incandescent to LED and other advanced technologies. It details why traditional dimming methods, designed for resistive incandescent loads, often fail with LEDs, and examines how new control techniques like pulse width modulation (PWM) are shaping the future of residential lighting control.
Key topics include:
- Incandescent Dimming
- LED Dimming
- Pulse Width Modulation and Advanced Controls
- Impact of Power Quality and Component Choices
Why utilities should care:
Understanding the incompatibility between legacy dimmers and modern lighting technologies is vital for anticipating customer issues, reducing service calls, and planning for grid impacts as lighting loads evolve with widespread LED adoption and advanced control schemes.
