Question 2

How are dimmers used to control lighting?

Accepted Answer

Dimmers for site lighting are rapidly gaining in popularity. Dimming has the advantage, over other control systems, of being able to lower the lighting and the energy use, while maintaining uniform lighting throughout the area. Energy use can be reduced by 20 percent, or more, of the original value. A dimming system is to be installed on the storage area and the parking lot. A photocell will signal when to turn the lights on; then, a time clock will initiate the dimmers when the high level of lighting is no longer needed. Override switches will be located in convenient places if there is a need to have full lighting at any time.
