Guidelines on the Application of Dimming to High-Intensity Discharge Lamps

 

Status: Active
NEMA LSD 14-2012   [DOWNLOAD]

Imparts general information and considerations in the design and application of such systems. Contact the manufacturers of the lamps, ballasts, and dimming systems for specific recommendations. 

With the increasing emphasis on energy efficiency, attention is being focused on the application of control systems that include dimming functions for High-Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting systems for both indoor and outdoor lighting. Complicating matters is that the lamps, ballasts, and control systems may be designed by different companies and may have compatibility issues. The exact performance of any HID dimming system or of the lamp on that system is dependent upon the specific dimming methodology employed with specific ballasts and lamps.
