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 - Selecting the right LED driver for your application can be pretty frustrating when your line of work is not electrical engineering! Allow us to show you how to do the Voltage-Current-Wattage check.

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.

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 - The objective of this paper is to clarify the start time requirements that have been adopted by ENERGY STAR® and CA Title 24 and to discuss how LED luminaires can comply with both.

WHITE PAPER - The most commonly used systems in professional LED lighting are DALI, 0-10V, 1-10V and DMX. The different dimming protocols have their own characteristics and advantages and disadvantages. The system to choose depends on your requirements.
