Why you need dimming curves
WHITE PAPER - Often, when dimming, the amount of light output doesn’t change much in the first half of the dimmer’s range and then drops fast when the dimmer is past halfway – leaving halve of the dimmer’s range virtually unused. Why does this happen?

APPLICATION NOTE - In the default factory setting, LightShape is set to ‘off’ for eldoLED DUALdrive LED drivers. This means that the driver will respond as a normal DALI DT6 ballast – except that there are 2 ballasts in a single DUALdrive LED driver.

APPLICATION NOTE - DMX/RDM is a robust and reliable system for lighting control. However, if not implemented correctly, problems can arise such as random flashing of lights, erratic operation and delays in responding to commands. This document explains the best practices in DMX wiring.

Selecting the right dimmer/switch/dimming control system is crucial for having the desired quality of light. Compatibility between dimmer/switch/dimming control system and the LED driver is a key factor of succes in high-end LED lighting applications.

WHITE PAPER - This paper focuses on (undesirable) flicker that may be introduced when a luminaire is dimmed. Especially in LED applications, the choice of an LED driver can have a direct impact on the flicker performance of a luminaire.

APPLICATION NOTE - You switch on your just installed LED lighting system, but nothing happens... Of course you will check the circuit breaker and to your surprise it is engaged.
What just may have happened is that the inrush currents of your drivers triggered the circuit breaker.
