Types of LED Dimming

There are two main types of dimming that can be used with LED light sources. These are TRIAC (Triode for Alternating Current) dimming and 0-10 Volt dimming.

TRIAC dimming relies on adjustable timing of power at the start of each AC half cycle, which alters the voltage waveform to dim a light source. TRIAC dimming is almost instantaneous and wastes very little power.

0-10 V dimming utilizes a DC voltage that varies from 0 V to 10 V to dim a light source. 0-10 V dimming typically runs at a low current with little voltage drop.

RBW Team Holiday Party 2024

The end of the year is a time to reflect on a year of growth, collaboration, and hard work. In December 2024, we brought the team together at Chleo’s in Kingston for our annual holiday gathering. Over great food and lively conversation, we celebrated the achievements of the year and the people who made them possible. At RBW, we believe in the power of light to create atmosphere — and this is the team behind it.—and this is the team that brings that vision to life.
