    摘要: A dimmable lighting system may replace a bi-level lighting system without having to modify or supplement the existing wiring between a bi-level control unit and one or more light fixtures. The dimmable lighting system may include a dimming controller that may be configured to replace a bi-level control unit in situ (i.e., e.g., in a wall-mounted dual-gang switch box). The dimmable lighting system may also include a dimming driver that may be coupled to the dimming controller via the existing wiring of the bi-level lighting system. The dimming controller may output to the dimming driver a 0-10 volt DC dimming signal referenced to an AC utility voltage. In response, a dimmable lighting device coupled to the dimming driver may output light over a wide range of dimming light levels. Methods of replacing a bi-level lighting system with a dimmable lighting system are also provided, as are other aspects.

    摘要翻译: 可调光照明系统可以替代双层照明系统,而不必修改或补充双层控制单元和一个或多个灯具之间的现有布线。 可调光照明系统可以包括调光控制器,其可以被配置为在原位(即,例如在壁挂式双关闭开关盒中)替换双电平控制单元。 可调光照明系统还可以包括调光驱动器,其可以经由双电平照明系统的现有布线耦合到调光控制器。 调光控制器可以向调光驱动器输出参考交流公用电压的0-10伏直流调光信号。 作为响应,耦合到调光驱动器的可调光照明装置可以在宽范围的调光光级别上输出光。 还提供了用可调光照明系统替换双电平照明系统的方法,以及其他方面。
