LED DIMMING & EFFECTS

LED Dimming & Effects

LED lights are great for special effect lighting as they have a rich variety in colours, are small in size, durable and energy efficient. An LED light can contain a number of colours, usually red, green and blue (RGB), within a single bulb. By adjusting the intensity of each individual colour, different colour variations can be achieved. 

LED lighting effects are easily produced with the use of a driver and can range from basic dimming and colour changing abilities to more sophisticated models allowing flashing, chasing and fading with numerous combinations of colours and timing. LED lights are dimmed with drivers that use PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) which control the pulse width and duty cycle of the LED light causing it to dim.

LED Lighting Effects

LED lights are great for special effect lighting as they have a rich variety in colours, are small in size, durable and energy efficient. LED lighting effects are becoming increasingly popular for stage and nightclub use as they emit a bright, sharp light that can be easily seen both in daylight and at night. 

An LED light can contain a number of colours, usually red, green and blue (RGB), within a single bulb. By adjusting the intensity of each individual colour, different colour variations can be achieved. RGB uses the same principal as mixing paint colours, only using light as a medium.

LED drivers can produce a spectacular range of LED lighting effects with the use of an LED light controller. The LED lighting effects produced can range from basic dimming and colour changing to more sophisticated models allowing flashing, chasing and fading with numerous combinations of colours and timin

Just some LED lighting effects LED controllers can achieve include:

• Chasing                                                                                                                                                                                                   
• Dimming
• Strobing
• Colour changing (RGB)                                                                                                                                                                                         
• Waves
• Flashing                                                                                                                                                                                  
• Sequential
• Fade
• Twinkle

LED lighting effects can be used in countless applications such as:

• Mood lighting
• Signage
• Theatre and stage lighting
• Night clubs - dance floors, backlit bars etc.
• Fairy lights
• Architectural, outdoor and garden lighting
• Cove and bench lighting and many more!
