Overview
Dimming of LEDs can extend the lifetime even further and also reduces power drain. Today's TRIAC phase-control wall dimmers are designed to interface with pure resistive load, such as incandescent or halogen light bulbs. Since an LED bulb does not appear as a resistive load to the TRIAC wall dimmer, dimming an LED bulb using a conventional TRIAC wall dimmer does not yield good dimming performance. In this Webinar, we will discuss in detail the challenges of LED dimming with a conventional triac wall dimmer and how National's new triac dimmable offline LED driver overcomes the issues and achieves full 100:1 range of uniform, flicker-free dimming. This solution enables truly direct LED light bulb replacement of existing incandescent or halogen bulb systems connected to standard TRIAC wall dimmers.
