Question 1

What are common manufacturers of 0-10V dimming power supplies?

Accepted Answer

Philips: As a renowned lighting solutions provider, Philips offers a variety of 0-10V dimming power supply options suitable for different types of lighting applications. For example, the Philips Xitanium LP series driver.

Mean Well: Mean Well is a company specialized in power supply solutions, and they provide several reliable 0-10V dimming power supply products for various applications like LED lighting. For instance, Meanwell's HLG AB and XLG AB series power supplies.

Inventronics: Inventronics is a leading manufacturer focused on LED drivers and power supply solutions. They offer multiple 0-10V dimming power supply products known for their efficiency and reliability. For example, Inventronics' EUM DE and EBS DTE series power supplies are specifically designed for outdoor road lighting fixtures.

Question 2

What is the difference between 0-10V and 1-10V?

Accepted Answer

In the 1-10V dimming system, the direct current voltage varies between 1V and 10V to determine the intensity of the lighting. Below 1V, the fixture will output the minimum brightness, but the LED driver cannot completely turn off the light. If the LED fixture cannot be fully turned off at voltages below 1V, additional methods are required to cut off the power supply and turn off the lights. However, for LED fixtures with 0-10V dimming, when the LED driver sends a 0V signal to the fixture, the light can be completely turned off without the need for extra measures to fully cut off the fixture's output.

Question 3

What is the difference between sink and source?

Accepted Answer

In the context of the 0-10V system, "sink" and "source" refer to the direction of current flow used to drive the circuit and induce changes in the DC voltage. In this system, the controller and drivers can operate in either "sourcing" mode, where they provide the current, or "sinking" mode, where they dissipate the current. Sink type 0-10V LED driver act as a current sink, while source type controller acts as a voltage source and 0-10V LED driver receives this voltage signal to dim the lighting fixture.
