Abstract

Sam Woodward, an expert in the lighting industry, explains the various methods that are available to control LED lighting. He explains the LED retrofit lamps can be dimmed using either a leading edge or trailing edge dimmer, and that an LED fixture can be dimmed using either mains dimming or a low voltage protocol. The option that is chosen for LED fixtures will impact the performance outcome of the LEDs, and will impact infrastructure planning and zoning, due to wiring.
