Lutron fluorescent ballasts are controlled by 4 technologies.
- Digital Control:
- Addressable digital control (via DALI and EcoSystem)
- Ballasts can be managed from a central location (QuantumTM)
- Maximum energy savings and flexibility
- Dimming ratios from 10 : 1 (EcoSystem) up to 138 : 1 (Hi-lume 3D)
- Low voltage digital control bus
- Allows for maxiumum circuit loading
- 3-wire control:
- Line-voltage, high performance
- Dimming ratios from 10 to 1 up to 138 to 1 (Hi-lume 3D)
- Stable over long wire runs
- Allows for maximum circuit loading
- 2-wire control:
- Line-voltage
- Dimming ratios up to 20 to 1
- Small-scale retrofit applications
- Ideal for implementing dimming in existing fixtures
- 0-10Vdc (4 wire) control:
- Low-voltage DC
- Dimming ratio of 10 to 1
