CCI Announces Breakthrough Power Supply Technology for Phase Cut LED Dimming
CCI Announces Breakthrough Power Supply Technology for Phase Cut LED Dimming Powered by CCI’s new DimMaster™ LED phase-cut power supply technology, dimmable LED fixtures can now be developed to match the dimming performance of incandescent fixtures. Notably, the technology supports the transition of high performance lighting applications to LED, by seamlessly blending highly cost-efficient LED lamp fixtures into existing incandescent lighting arrays. Users can make this transition without investing in new dimmers or consoles, and without new wiring, because dimming is driven by the power supply within the LED lamp fixture. Read more »
