Lutron | Understanding Lutron ballasts and drivers Lutron | Understanding Lutron ballasts and drivers Dimming fluorescent light saves energy Lutron quality Fluorescent lighting uses much less power than incandescent lighting. In a typical installation, a 32 W compact fluorescent lamp provides approximately the same light output as a 100 W incandescent lamp. As both sources are dimmed, fluorescent lamps continue to be more energy efficient. Superior components Extending lifetime Lutron ballasts and drivers are manufactured to the highest level of quality, using carefully selected components....

Lutron® | Understanding Lutron ballasts and drivers Measured light vs. perceived light The human eye responds to low light levels by enlarging the pupil, allowing more light to enter the eye. This response results in a difference between measured and perceived light levels. A lamp that is dimmed to 10% of its maximum measured light output is perceived as being dimmed to only 32%. Likewise, a lamp dimmed to 1% is perceived to be at 10%. Selecting a Lutron ballast or driver Lutron offers several ballast and driver families that have various dimming levels and control options to suit any...

Lutron® | Energy-saving strategies Energy-saving control strategies Personal control Provide personal choice and control of light levels to accommodate different tasks and activities. Permit control from multiple locations. Occupancy/vacancy sensing Gradually dim lights to a low level or turn lights off when space is unoccupied; turn lights on when someone enters. Daylight harvesting Dim electric light or switch it off during the day to take advantage of available daylight. High-end trim Set the maximum light level in a space based on customer preference or design requirements. Typical...

Ballasts and drivers | Ballasts and drivers Fluorescent and LED lighting is used widely in educational, institutional and commercial buildings. They meet energy-conscious design criteria such as ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1 standards and LEED® guidelines. Fluorescent and LED lighting is also increasingly found in residential spaces, especially in recessed downlights and coves. Dimming fluorescent lighting instead of repeated switching helps maintain lamp life and also saves energy. All Lutron® fluorescent dimming ballasts and LED drivers are 100% performance-tested at the factory and come with a...
