ELV dimmers are also called simply “electronic dimmers”, as well as “trailing edge dimmers”. These names come from the way in which this dimmer transitions your LED's luminosity. An ELV dimmer works like this: the electrical load is turned off at the end, or trailing edge, of the Alternating Current (AC) waveform.
What are three types of dimmers?
- Incandescent/Halogen. These types of bulbs require resistive dimmers due to the filaments inside of them. ...
- Magnetic Low Voltage (MLV) Transformers that reduce higher voltages to less than 30 volts are called low-voltage transformers. ...
- Fluorescent. ...
- Light Emitting Diode (LED)
Are all LED dimmers ELV?
While most integrated LEDs require an ELV dimmer, some European brands do use the 0-10 volt system.
