- Sainmhíniú dimmer switch that uses a special circuit to “turn on and off” the current supply to a fixture at regular intervals, typically 120 times per second Tagairt "COM-EN, based on:National Electrical Manufacturers Association. Solid State LIghting for Incandescent Replacement - Best Practices for Dimming. http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/publications/pdfs/ssl/ssl_nema-lsd_july2010.pdf [12.6.2012]"
- Nóta The amount of time the current is “on” determines how bright or dim the lamp will be. For each “on/off” cycle (1/120th of a second), the more time current is “on,” the brighter the lamps will be and the more energy used.
