Dimming LEDs infinitely and flicker-free? That works with Theben

Not every LED lamp is dimmable. Even with those suitable versions, the dimming characteristics differ significantly and depending on the manufacturer. The LEDs flicker frequently and cannot be dimmed linear and harmonically as the electronic ballasts required react with great
differences to the phase control and phase alignment. This is why some manufacturers only explicitly allow one of the methods.

You can find out about dimming LEDs infinitely and flicker-free on the following pages.


Residual currents ensure for continuous light on LEDs with low Wattage

Another problem is caused by the interference suppression capacitors of the dimmer. Continuous very low residual currents run through them. These are sufficient to supply LED lamps with one to two Watt rated output. Then they no longer go out completely.

Choose the optimum presetting for LEDs on the DIMAX plus universal dimmer from Theben

LED compatible switching devices from Theben, such as the universal dimmer DIMAX 534 plus, offer additional setting options for a perfect adaptation to this technology.

Presettings for LED lamp

Dim LEDs harmoniously - today and in the future: update dimming curves via the ETS

Similar to conventional Dimmer DIMAX 534 plus, the KNX universal dimmer from Theben also offers different presettings in order to make an optimum approach to the lamp connected. However, the KNX universal dimmer actuator goes one step further: in the programming software ETS, various dimming curves are stored, which correct the dimming response appropriately depending on the lamp used, thus ensuring infinite transitional dimming.
