  • The Principles of Dimming Leading Edge Dimming – Triac and Thyristor
    The Principles Of Dimming An artificial light source such as a lamp or one or more lamps in a fitting (luminaire) will be specified for a purpose. Often this purpose will need a lot of light but may be too much at other times. This is nothing new, candle lamps used mechanical screens and oil lamps adjustable wicks. Aesthetic, artistic, mood setting, visual comfort, or energy saving are all valid reasons for changing lighting levels, or in other words dimming the lamps. Dimming an electric lamp is achieved by reducing the current and thereby the power to the lamp. Early dimmers used series resistance but this generates a lot of heat and is inefficient. All modern dimmers use semiconductor technology and digital control with typical losses of less than 2% of full load. Mains “chopping” or Phase Control The most widely used form of dimming is phase control. Phase control dimming uses a switching device to “chop” the supply such that only part of each half cycle Normal line voltage, full power for the load of the AC mains supply is applied to the load. For the remaining part the switch is open and no power is applied to the load. The amount of power to the load is therefore determined by the phase angle of the AC supply at which the switching occurs and thereby altering the ratio of off to on time from always open, no power, to allows closed, full power. The switching is synchronised to each half cycle to minimise the visual impact of momentarily turning the lamp off.

This application note describes how to implement a low-cost lamp brightness control or dimmer using a member of the M68HC08 MCU Family. The circuit controls the amount of energy that reaches the bulb during each half-cycle of the AC power line. Moreover, a microcontroller may grant extra automation features to the circuit, such as soft start and programmable timing. Additionally, an application in which a lamp is turned on for a specific amount of time is described. The dimmer circuit implementation requires few external components.

The program supports demonstrations of high-performance solid-state lighting (SSL) products in order to develop empirical data and experience with in-the-field applications of this advanced lighting technology. The DOE GATEWAY Demonstration Program focuses on providing a source of independent, third-party data for use in decision-making by lighting users and professionals; this data should be considered in combination with other information relevant to the particular site and application under examination. Each GATEWAY Demonstration compares SSL products against the incumbent technologies used in that location. Depending on available information and circumstances, the SSL product may also be compared to alternate lighting technologies. Though products demonstrated in the GATEWAY program may have been prescreened for performance, DOE does not endorse any commercial product or in any way guarantee that users will achieve the same results through use of these products.
