9: Universal dimmer switches, capacity enhancer, 1-10V controllers and rotary dimmers

Set the mood and reduce energy costs at the same time - a fascinating combination for incandescent lamps, halogen lamps and LED lamps. The dimming of lamps in combination with soft ON and soft OFF, prolongs their lifetime considerably. This applies also to the infinitely dimmable energy saving lamps. Only universal dimmers with the marking R, L, C recognize ­automatically the connected load and adjust their dimming function accordingly. Other dimmers have to be exchanged if lamps with other kind of loads are used later. Only universal dimmer switches with the added ESL marking and added LED marking have the associated comfort settings.
