0-10V Dimming

The first and simplest electronic lighting control signaling system, low voltage 0-10V dimmers use a low voltage 0-10V DC signal connected to each LED power supply or Fluorescent ballast. At 0 Volts the device will dim to the minimum light level allowed by the dimming driver, and at 10 Volts the device will be operating at 100%. A 0-10V dimmer is considered analog dimming, and all USAI 0-10V dimming options are considered to be “sink” type dimming. A typical 0-10V wiring diagram is shown below:

DIML2: Our standard 0-10V dimming driver option is often provided standard (check spec sheets) and dims down to 10% at minimum light level. It is the default dimming driver provided with our Warm Glow Dimming, Color Select and Max Output product lines, among others.

DIML6A: Our EldoLED 0-10V dimmer option programmed for logarithmic response is compatible with Lutron control systems and dims down to 0.1% at minimum light level.

DIML6B: Our EldoLED 0-10V dimming option programmed for linear response is compatible with standard dimming control systems and dims down to 0.1% at minimum light level.
