Controlling LED Lighting22

Solid white and solid color LED lighting fixtures in the eW Powercore and eColor Powercore families

from Philips Color Kinetics can be switched (turned on and off) or dimmed. Switching is straightforward

with standard wall switches. Since eW Powercore and eColor Powercore lighting fixtures are

compatible only with certain dimmer types, you must take some care when selecting dimmers.

Dimming eW Powercore and

eColor Powercore Fixtures

In general, eW Powercore and eColor Powercore fixtures

should be dimmed using reverse-phase control (trailing-

edge) dimmers. These dimmers are made for use with

electronic low voltage (ELV) transformers, which are used

in Philips Color Kinetics LED lighting fixtures. You should

never use forward-phase ELV-type dimmers, as they can

damage fixtures.

Selected dimming manufacturers, including Philips Strand

and Philips Dynalite, offer specification-grade reverse-

phase dimming solutions for 100 V, 110 V, 120 V, 220

V, 240 V, and 277 V loads which work well with Philips

Color Kinetics products. Some leading makers of lighting

controls test specific dimmers with integrated LED

lighting fixtures, and post a list of tested and approved

dimmer / fixture combinations on their websites.

While such information can help you to make an informed

purchasing decision, continuous improvements and

innovations to both dimmers and LED lighting fixtures

may introduce incompatibilities and unexpected behaviors.

Such behaviors include reduced range (top and bottom),

pop-on, drop-out, flicker, dead travel, and audible noise.

For these reasons, you should always test dimmers with

your specific Philips Color Kinetics LED lighting solution

prior to permanent installation. (Most leading makers of

lighting controls accommodate customer requests for

dimmer / fixture compatibility testing at their facilities.)

Follow the dimmer manufacturer’s instructions for

calculating minimum dimmer wattage for your specific

lighting installation, and for proper installation and

configuration.
