Trailing Edge Dimmer
A trailing edge dimmer, also known as a phase-cut dimmer or electronic dimmer, is specifically designed for dimming modern light sources such as LED and compact fluorescent bulbs. Unlike leading edge dimmers, which are commonly used with traditional incandescent and halogen lamps, trailing edge dimmers offer smoother and quieter dimming performance.
This type of dimmer operates by cutting off the voltage at the end of each AC cycle, resulting in a stable light output without flickering. This makes it particularly suitable for LED lighting, preventing issues like flickering or humming. When choosing a dimmer, always check its compatibility with your specific light sources to ensure optimal performance.
