HID Lamp DimmingeHID ballasts

Dimming is growing in popularity due to energy codes, green construction and user interest in flexibility and maximizing energy savings.

High-intensity discharge (HID) lamp dimming is no exception, and with continuing development of electronic HID ballasts, continuous HID lamp dimming is easier to achieve, in a broader range of wattages, than ever before.

This special report by the Lighting Controls Association examines popular HID lamp dimming methods, and presents NEMA guidelines for dimming popular HID lamps.
