Phase Control Dimming
Diagram Description: A wiring diagram illustrates phase control dimming. It shows a 120V AC power source connected to dimmer switches, which then supply power to multiple Halo LED Downlights. The typical wiring includes a 2-wire plus ground connection for the AC power.
Dimmer Compatibility Overview
This section provides a comprehensive list of dimmers tested for compatibility with the Halo RLFR Series LED downlights. The tables detail various dimmer manufacturers, their series and model numbers, the maximum number of luminaires supported per circuit, recommended minimum dimming percentages, maximum dimming percentages, and low-end start times.
Key manufacturers include Leviton, Lutron, Eaton, EWD, Lightolier, and Greengate, with numerous models listed across different series such as Decora, SureSlide, Illumatech, Toggler, Nova T, Diva, Skylark, and many others.
The compatibility data helps users select appropriate dimmers to ensure optimal performance and smooth dimming capabilities for their RLFR Series installations.
Dimmer Notes
- Start time is measured at the lowest dimmer setting.
- Some LED dimmers feature a "rapid start" design that provides a momentary power boost to LED and CFL lamps during start-up. This boost may cause a momentary flash of the LED lighting, which can be more noticeable at low dimmer settings. A solution is available with EATON dimmers (Devine (DAL06P), Accell (AAL06P), and Trace (TAL06P)) that offer adjustable "rapid start" capabilities.
