【 摘 要 】

DOE GATEWAY program report reviewing how phase-cut dimmers work, how LEDs differ from the incandescent lamps these dimmers were originally designed to control, and how those differences can lead to complications when attempting to dim LEDs. Providing both general guidance and step-by-step procedures for designing phase-controlled LED dimming on both new and existing projects???as well as real-world examples of how to use those procedures???the report aims to reduce the chance of experiencing compatibility-related problems and, if possible, ensure good dimming performance.
