Everything about dimming your lamps

For many people, dimming lamps is not really clear. The question "which dimmer do I use best for which lamp?" Also comes back very often. With lamplight, we give you the best explanation regarding dimming so that you know exactly what to do and that you can easily combine functional and atmospheric lighting.

What is a dimmer?

A dimmer is a switch with which you control the current or voltage with the result that the light intensity of your lamp can vary. When you want to work, clear light (ie functional light) is finer and more efficient than when you have dim light. For example, with a romantic dinner, dim light is really a must!

Which lamps can be dimmed with which dimmer?

Not all lighting can be dimmed, so it is good to take a number of things into account. Incandescent lamps and halogen lamps are always easy to dim because they use a simple technique. Incandescent and halogen lamps on 230V can be dimmed with any dimmer. Pay attention to energy-saving lamps and fluorescent tubes: these are not dimmable because they work on gas discharge.

LED lighting dim

The electronics in the lamp or in the fixture determine whether or not the LED lamp is dimmable. LED is not standardly dimmable, it depends on the type of LED lamp you have. This is usually stated on the package. Dimmers that work on phase cut-off are often the best dimmers for LED lighting.

The use of a conventional dimmer causes problems with LED lamps because they will flash, buzz or vibrate. This causes damage to the lamp. That is why there are special dimmers for LED, for both 12V and 230V LED lighting.

Are you ready for some extra atmosphere at home? Then choose a beautiful lamp, the right dimmer and you're done! Time for cozy evenings on the couch.
