Dimmers - Would you like to use dimmers in the house, apartment or at work? Would you like to know what to look out for when buying a dimmer? Can dimmers really save electricity? Find out here which dimmer is the right one for your application.When we dim our living room lights in the evening, something magical happens. The brightness decreases, the colors become softer and the atmosphere in the room becomes cozier. This change has a tremendous effect on our well-being and mood. Dimming is not only easy on the eyes, it also has a positive effect on our bodies. After a busy day, we can relax and let the stress gradually fall off our shoulders. In addition, we can save electricity by dimming light bulbs and LED lamps. In this way, we contribute to reducing CO2 emissions and protecting the environment.What should you consider before buying a dimmer?There are a few things to consider when buying a dimmer. We have summarized the most important points for you:What kind of dimmer do you need?Should the dimmer be universal or suitable for a specific light source?What power supply is required?How should the dimmer be operated?What load should the dimmer be rated for? (the information can be found on the device)Which additional functions are required? (interfaces)Does the price play a decisive role?and some more Image: Berker 85422100 universal touch dimmer, 2-foldTypes of dimmers and their usesDimmers are thyristor controllers or triac controllers for controlling the brightness of incandescent lamps, lights or transformers for low-voltage halogen lamps. When selecting a suitable dimmer, the type of light source, the power supply and the electrical voltage must be taken into account. There are different dimmers, which are suitable for different applications. The best known are universal dimmers, trailing edge dimmers and leading edge dimmers. All reduce the voltage to dim the light. But there are differences in how they work. TIP:Most lamps are marked with a label that provides information about their dimmability. You will find the symbol of a light bulb or a halogen spotlight on many light sources, followed by the information 'RL' or 'RC'. What do these two abbreviations mean and what are the advantages and disadvantages?Trailing edge dimming (RL):Trailing edge dimming is the most commonly used method of dimming lamps. Here, the current of the illuminant is interrupted at regular intervals, so that the light repeatedly goes out briefly and then comes on again. The interruption in the current flow causes the light to flicker slightly. This flickering is barely perceptible to the human eye.Advantages:Less heat lossNo impairment of the mains voltageEasy to implement Disadvantages:Flickering of the light, which can be annoying for some peopleLimited dimmability, otherwise the light flickers too much Leading edge dimming (RC):With phase angle dimming, the current flow is interrupted at the beginning and end of each switching period. As a result, there is no direct regulation of the current flow and there is no flickering of the light. Leading edge dimming is therefore particularly suitable for sensitive applications where uniform light is important. This is the case, for example, in hospitals or galleries.Advantages:No flickering of the light because the current flow is not interruptedMore even light image than with RL dimming Disadvantages:Higher losses due to heat developmentImpairment of the mains voltage with strong dimming Dimming LEDsA dimmable LED lamp is always marked as 'dimmable'. You can usually find the information on the packaging or in the product description. If you cannot find any indication of dimmability, the LED cannot be dimmed.You can use both RC technology and RL technology to dim LEDs. Please judge for yourself which one is the right one for you. Alternatively, you can use dimmers with pulse width modulation. This is the most commonly used variant for dimming LEDs. With pulse width modulation, the current flow is periodically interrupted for a specific interval. As a result, the longer the OFF interval, the less bright the LED will shine.What options are there for operating dimmers?There are several ways you can adjust the brightness on your dimmer. Most models have a dial. Other models have buttons or a touch field. The brightness is changed here, for example, by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons. With a remote touch dimmer, a short touch switches the dimmer on and off, a longer touch impulse causes a change in brightness. There is also the option of controlling with a control voltage. Almost every switch manufacturer has such models in their switch range.Tips for using dimmersDimmers are often used in living rooms to adapt the lighting to the situation at hand. For example, you can set the mood at a dinner party with dimmed lights or turn the lights down completely for a romantic evening for two. Dimmers are also very popular in bedrooms, as they slowly ease the transition to sleep. Dimmers can also be useful in wellness areas such as bathrooms or saunas. For example, when entering the sauna, the light can be dimmed down to promote relaxation. Dimmers can also be used in the aquarium. This allows the lighting to simulate natural daylight. This is for the well-being of the fish. Dimmers at the workplace significantly reduce direct glare and disruptive reflections on the screen. This can help you concentrate better and work without interruption.Dimming in the KNX building managementThe KNX building management is a complex system that enables the automation and control of light, heating and air conditioning in a house or apartment. A central function in the KNX building management is the integration of dimmers, which enable the brightness to be regulated. Dimming actuators are usually used for this in conjunction with pushbutton sensors or multiple operating devices. These replace conventional dimmers. For more information, we recommend our 'Dimming actuators' catalogue.What do the letters 'R - L - C' on a dimmer mean?The letter 'R' on a dimmer means it is suitable for the resistive loads of incandescent lamps, halogen lamps and the like. The 'L', on the other hand, stands for inductive loads from low-voltage lamps with a conventional transformer. And 'C' means capacitive loads from low-voltage lamps with electronic transformers.

Lighting control system - By regulating the light intensity, we consciously influence our mood, the way we work or our sleep patterns. An evening for two is much more romantic with dimmed lights, or cooking is much easier if you always have a good view of the pots. Find out here how and with what you can control the brightness in your rooms exactly as you want.The eibabo® technology store offers a very extensive range of items for light control. For example, access our high-quality switches, buttons, potentiometer inserts (generally referred to as dimmers), light sensors, switching modules or components for smart home control. Well-known manufacturers, best quality, fair prices, fast delivery and secure payment are our arguments for shopping in the eibabo® online shop.What are light control systems?Light control systems are traditional or intelligent devices that allow you to control the lighting in a room. Depending on your wishes and needs, there are different types of light control systems available. Probably the simplest example of light control is the classic switch that turns the light on and off. Another option is to switch the light on when movement is detected. A motion detector or a presence detector is used here. But the lighting control can be much more complex and in such cases requires very individual components. And that's exactly what this catalog from the eibabo® online shop is all about.Image: Ledvance DALI PCU lighting control systemWhat types of light control systems are there?In general, there are hardly any limits to the implementation of your lighting control ideas. Depending on your needs, you can simply switch your light on manually, automatically or networked. The more complex the system, the more individual freedom you have to realize your ideas or increase comfort. Even if network systems are more expensive to purchase, they save up to 30% in electricity costs over time thanks to intelligent control management. The following types of light control are possible:Manual light controlManually turning on and off is the most widely used lighting control. It is difficult to save electricity with it. You have to constantly remember to turn on the lights only when you actually need them. The use of economical LEDs can help save on energy costs. Dimming is a slightly more advanced way of controlling room lighting. However, this is also manual. Dimmer switches allow you to dim the lighting to the desired level. This in turn saves a little more electricity.Automatic light controlWith automatic light control, a sensor usually switches the lights on and off. You can specify the criteria according to which this happens and how long such switching cycles last. So you can't forget to turn off the light. To automate outdoor lighting, you may want to install motion sensors. The lighting is then only activated when there is a certain amount of darkness and a person or vehicle is moving in the detection area of the detector. After a certain period of inactivity, the device switches the light off again. Presence detectors or presence sensors are used indoors. Their basic switching principle is comparable to that of motion detectors. These record movements within a room. Presence detectors are ideal for bathrooms, toilets, break rooms and hallways.Networked light controlThe most advanced type of light control is the networked system. This is often part of building automation, but can also be designed as a stand-alone system. Networked lighting systems make it possible to control lighting from computers, multifunction devices, remote controls or smartphones. The prerequisite for this is the connection to a central control unit. Advanced programs can even store data and create usage charts, so you can closely monitor your energy consumption.Basically, we differentiate networked lighting between centralized, wireless or combined light control systems. With the centralized system, all lighting circuits from a room or building come together at a central location. The classic wall switch is replaced by one or more multifunctional pushbutton sensors or touch displays. These allow you to control the light in different ways. This requires an integrated processor that manages the additional functions. Depending on the range of functions of the components and programming, at the touch of a button, for example:call up interesting light scenesdim different lighting groupssynchronize the lighting with the movement of the sunmake switching on and off dependent on the actual brightnessadjust the color of the light sourceGenerate operating hours, consumption and other data through measurement and/or monitoringand so forth An alternative to the centralized solution is the wireless variant. This consists of controllable dimmers and switches that have replaced the traditional standalone switches and dimmers. The wireless system is of particular interest in renovations and retrofits as there are fewer cables to run. The existing installation can usually be built on. The installation is easy, the costs are manageable. The wireless light control can be operated like a centralized system and contain the same programming options. All dimmers and switches are wirelessly connected to the control unit's processor.The advantagesBy adjusting color or intensity, light controls can: Reduce glare; change the atmosphere and mood; make the room function more flexible; reduce energy consumption and increase safety.A combined light control is a mixture of both systems described. Both wireless and wired devices are included in a system and exchange information with each other. This option is often implemented when expanding central systems. All of the systems mentioned offer the user comprehensive and individual comfort and are mostly intuitive and easy to manage.What are the requirements for a networked lighting control system?The individual components of a lighting control system (controllers, ballasts, drivers and light sources) must be compatible with one another to ensure proper operation of the system. This means: The components must communicate in order to be able to execute the control strategy. This so-called interoperability depends on the control method or the protocol. NoticeA protocol is a set of rules that defines the behavior of components in a system in a specific language. Examples of well-known and widespread protocols include the Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) and ZigBee. All controllers must be designed for the same protocol to ensure good interoperability. The individual protocols differ with regard to the software structure. There are:open or standardized protocols that are available and usable for all manufacturersProtocols that represent an optimized solution for only one manufacturer and bind the user to this manufacturer for future maintenance, changes or extensionsa combination of both; i.e. an open protocol that is tailored to specific providers or a provider-specific protocol that is made available to other providers through licensing If you want to integrate components with different protocols, this is possible by using a gateway (hardware or software). In addition, various applications and software for building automation support the implementation of light control systems. With this you can for example:discover devicesAssign specific control points to lighting zonesProgram scenarios for lighting zonesCalibrate sensors and set actuatorsmonitor checkpointsIssue service warnings and alarmsRecord energy consumption and display, log, evaluate and back up other dataCreate users and access levels Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Light control > Lighting control system component you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Ambient lightCentral controlComfortableControl elementDALI unitHall lightingInterior lightInterior lightsLight control deviceLight line systemLight managementLight meterLightingLighting controlMini sensorMotion detectorMotion sensorMounting frameMounting rail lightRadio linkRain gaugeRotary dimmerSensorsSISignal converterSmartphone controlTwilight sensorUniversal dimmerWarehouse lightingfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Lighting control system:ABBArcliteBarthelmeBEGA GantenbrinkBrumbergBusch JaegerCeagDoepkeEberleEltakoEVNFinderFischerGiraHagerHeraHoubenIDVJungLEDVANCENobileOpple LightingPhilips LichtPräzisaRadiumRegioluxRidi-LeuchtenRZBSchalkSchmitz-LeuchtenSchneider ElectricSignify PLSSitecoSLVThebenTriluxZumtobel

Cord switch-dimmer - Have you ever heard of cord switches or cord dimmers? Admittedly, this term is not very widespread, but it only describes those mobile and movable switching devices that are supplied directly with an electrical line and also transmit their signals via this electrical line. A classic example is the desk lamp. The switch is usually located somewhere on the supply line and controls the on and off of the lamp. Devices of this type are available in many variants, both as switches and as dimmers, as models for hand operation and models for foot operation. These are then called pedal intermediate switches and are typically found on the leads of floor lamps. If you too would like to install a new switching device on a "string" or replace a defective part, then you will definitely find the right item or the right spare part here in the eibabo online shop. If you opt for a dimmer, please make sure that the light source is also suitable for dimming.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Domestic switching devices > Cord switch/dimmer you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Cord dimmerCord rotary dimmerCord slide dimmerCord switchCord switch/dimmerCord transformerCord transformer dimmableDimmerDimmer including transformerDimmer with transformerEnd switchFoot switchFootswitchIntermediate dimmerIntermediate pedal switchIntermediate switchLeading edge dimmerLimit switchPull cord switchPull switchfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Cord switch-dimmer:BachmannBerkerBusch JaegerGiraGlen DimplexScharnberger+Has.

Control unit light control system - What are control units for light control systems? Behind what sounds quite complicated and abstract, in classic usage, there are primarily potentiometers, also known as dimmers. In this catalog you will mainly find a wide variety of flush-mounted dimming inserts, with which you can usually control the brightness of connected lamps by turning them and switching them on and off using a pressure switch. Dimmers are often used in the private sector in order to create a particularly cozy living atmosphere in certain living rooms. In addition to potentiometers for flush-mounting, you can also get classic buttons, switches and other end devices in the eibabo online shop to be able to set the light in your rooms in terms of time or intensity. With our controllers for light control systems, you can create an atmospheric ambience in your home.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Domestic switching devices > Automatic controller for light controlling system you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Accessories for light control systemAntenna socketAutomatic controller for light controlling systemControl componentControl components for light control systemControl potControl unitControllersDALI rotary potentiometerDimmer controllerElectronic control potentiometerElectronic rotary potentiometer 1-10 VElectronic touch rotary potentiometerEnergy efficientHand controllerLight colorLight controlLight control system control unitLight control system potentiometerLight emitting diodePotPotentiometerPotentiometer for light control systemPotentiometer insertRotary dimmerRotary potentiometerTactile control unitTouch dimmerfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Control unit light control system:BEGA GantenbrinkBerkerBusch JaegerElsoGiraHagerIDVJungMertenOpple LightingRidi-LeuchtenSchalkSteinel

Switches - Switches generally fulfil the purpose of controlling and operating electrical installations. Traditional light switches for operating lighting are found in almost every household. In just a few years, rooms will automatically detect the lighting mood people prefer by means of hidden sensors. Special switches that place particular value on design and/or functionality and are equipped with an innovative dimming function have become increasingly popular. Dimmers, which typically come in the form of rotary dimmers, or touch dimmers, generally enable more individual control and can regulate and reduce energy consumption. In addition to light switches, sockets are among the most well-known and common elements of switch ranges. As either in-wall sockets or mobile socket strips or multiple sockets, they provide electronic devices with power and are relevant to virtually every area of our lives. You can find the most well-known suppliers such as GIRA, Merten, Busch Jäger, Jung and Berker at reasonable prices in our eibabo® shop. In addition to the traditional line of switches, the past two years have seen an increasing popularity of complete multimedia solutions, for versatile use in both private households and business environments. The aim is essentially to combine different connections with one another and, for example, to create user-friendly solutions in the form of multi-purpose table sockets for interior use and energy columns for outdoor use. Switches that can be used even if no power line or bus line is installed are just as innovative. This involves radio receivers, infrared switches and transmitter remote controls. These switches allow you to realise cable-free installations and implement the most creative ideas. Considering the numerous areas of application in which motion detectors and motion sensors are already used, one could only imagine the possibilities that will arise here in the future. eibabo® helps you design the future according to your individual needs, with premium branded products from the Berker, Busch Jäger, GIRA, Hager, Jung, Legrand, Merten, Peha and Siemens.

Cover switch-button-dimmer - Do you prefer plain and simple covers for switches and buttons? Or may it also be something extravagant? We offer a huge range and show you what colours, shapes and styles are there? At eibabo® you will find blind covers and switch covers that make our home functional, comfortable and individually adjustable. This includes covers for room temperature controllers and dimmers from over 20 brand manufacturers at top conditions.PICTURE: Busch Jaeger 2504-2014 blind rockerWhat are covers for switches and buttons?Our life is hardly imaginable without power connections in the house. We operate light switches and plug sockets several times a day. Anyone involved in the planning and construction of a building knows the importance of covers for switches and sockets. Trouble-free functionality, simple design, durability and safety are what count in everyday contact with the interfaces to the power grid. How are these devices constructed? Roughly speaking, conventional switches and buttons consist of an insert, a frame and a cover.The insert consists of the switching technology or the technology for the button and is installed in a switch box.The cover frame forms the outer ring of a socket, button, switch or other insert.The covers fill the frame and ensure that we can safely operate switches, buttons or sockets. The manufacturers have adjusted to the needs of their customers. These offer switch programs with which you can determine the appearance of your switches, buttons and sockets yourself. Covers are available as:Rocker switches, rocker switches and double rockers for lights, blinds, heating and the likeCentral plate for sockets, network sockets and other mediaCable outlet or key switchBlind cover without functionalityCentral disc for dimmers, sensors, temperature controllers Can covers for switches and buttons be combined with frames from other switch ranges?The answer is yes and no. Inserts, frames and covers are standardized, but the details can differ. Why is that? The standard refers to DIN 49073:2007-09. This prescribes the typical dimensions of a switch box (diameter: 60 mm or 68 mm. Depth: 40 mm to 66 mm). The switch ranges of all manufacturers fit into your existing and standardized switch boxes. The situation is different if you want to combine different switch ranges. Although all switch series correspond to the basic installation standard, there are differences in design. As a result, some series are not compatible with other series. Particularly exclusive switch programs are usually also not compatible with other programs. These are usually made of glass, brass, brushed aluminum or stainless steel. TIP:When combining white parts, make sure they have a matching color number (RAL) and the same surface treatment. There may be minor differences. Some covers for buttons and switches match cover frames from other series and manufacturers in terms of shape and size. This allows you to design the control elements in your living room or work area very individually. If you want to combine, we recommend matching the inserts and cover first. In many cases, you will receive these devices as a matching set. This results in the choice of a suitable framework. Many manufacturers produce standardized frames with a cut-out of 55x55mm or 50x50mm. These fit onto correspondingly standardized covers and inserts. Then swapping, combining or varying is possible. If you are not sure, please look at the product description and compare the dimensions given.How do I remove a cover for switches and buttons?You can replace covers for sockets and switches yourself. Please pay attention to your safety, because after removing the covers the current-carrying contacts are exposed. When working with electricity, please disconnect the power supply beforehand. In most cases, the cover or the central plate is screwed to the insert with a small, centrally located screw. You can simply loosen them and carefully pull off the cover.cleaningCentral plates, central discs, rocker switches and cover frames are often touched. We recommend regular cleaning. With a rinse cycle in the dishwasher, all parts become clean again.Some materials are sensitive to heat or water. For example, clean metal covers by hand. Please make sure that the cleaned parts are absolutely dry before you start the cultivation. Place the frame behind the cover and screw it to the insert.Is there a cover for buttons and switches for outdoor use?A special feature are the covers for outdoor use. This is due to the necessary protection against dust, dirt and water. The optimal switch range for use outdoors or in damp rooms is at least IP44 splash-proof. This should also have a reinforced frame, be made of robust material and be mountable to protect it against theft. As a rule, you do not receive such covers individually but in a set. TIP:Many outdoor covers are visually very appealing. These can also find a place in the interior design. Please do not use interior covers in damp rooms or outdoors. As a rule, these switch ranges do not offer the necessary protection.Do covers for switches and buttons break easily?Covers for switches and buttons are actuated several times a day, depending on where they are used. However, the loads on the material are low. The high-quality products from all major manufacturers have proven to be very robust in everyday use. With careful handling, the covers can last for several decades. During assembly and disassembly, there is a risk of damage if, for example, you overtighten the assembly screw. Benefit from our huge selection and the low prices for covers from Alre-it, Berker, Busch Jaeger, DEHN, Eaton, Elso, Eltako, Gira, Hager, Jung, Legrand Bticino, Legrand SEKO, Merten, OBO, Peha, Rademacher, Siemens , Somfy, Tehalit and Thebes.

Potentiometer command device - We all know potentiometers. These are devices that take a certain input voltage and pass it on to a circuit in an individually adjustable amount. It sounds abstract, but it's actually quite simple. For example, the volume controls on older radios are rotary potentiometers. If you want to change the volume, you guide a so-called grinder over a resistance body through the rotary movement. The resistance is infinitely adjusted via its position, thereby changing the volume. Dimmers for adjusting the light intensity can also work according to the principle described. The potentiometers available in the eibabo technology store have different designs and can be used in a variety of ways. If you have any questions about products from our range, please feel free to contact us.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue low-voltage industrial components > potentiometer for control circuit devices you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Command deviceControl switchControl unitDialIlluminated pushbuttonIndicator lightIntensity adjusterPotentiometerPotentiometer for command devicesPotentiometer for control circuit devicesPrecision potPrecision potentiometerPush buttonResistanceRotary potentiometerSelector switchSetpoint potentiometerSignaling deviceTurning resistancefrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Potentiometer command device:EatonFinderGlen DimplexMegatronMurrelektronikPhoenixRockwellSchneider ElectricSiemensStahlTeleWieland
