Gerard Lighting has announced a new range of Diginet LEDSmart+ dimmers, timers and electronic light switches. It features MultiMate Technology, which allows electricians to provide a solution for both single-point and multi-way dimming solutions.
“Dimming from one location was always the accepted industry standard,” said Jason Gerard, Group General Manager, Research and Development, Gerard Lighting. “The Research and Development team at Gerard Lighting made a conscious decision to devise a way to change this. And one evening last in April, deep in the Gerard lighting Lab, one of our engineers discovered a way to wire dimmers in parallel with every dimmer becoming a control point.”
Electricians can now provide multi-way dimming solutions for their customers. Only one type of LEDSmart+ dimmer is required for all applications, single and multi-way, all load types and all wall plates. Consumers can dim the same light from multiple locations in one room.
The new range of dimmers, switches and timers provide optimised dimming of LED based lamps and drivers. The two-wire phase control wall plate range has a minimum load rating of 1W, allowing it to adapt to a wide range of available LED lighting products. Although optimised for LED lighting loads, the dimmers also provide compatibility with other common lamp types such as incandescent lamps, 12V halogen lamps and dimmable CFLs.
The new Diginet LEDSmart+ range includes a rotary dimmer, push button dimmer, push button hour timer, push button minute timer and push button switch.
