What Dimmers are?
Dimmers are devices used to control the brightness levels of lights or adjust the speed of fans by altering the amount of power supplied to them. They enable users to increase or decrease the intensity of light or fan speed by regulating the voltage or current flowing to the lighting fixture or fan motor.
These devices come in various types and forms, including rotary dimmer switches, slide dimmers, touch-based dimmers, and smart dimmers that can be controlled remotely via a mobile app or integrated into a home automation system.
Dimmers are commonly employed in residential, commercial, and industrial settings to create different lighting atmospheres, save energy, extend the lifespan of light bulbs, and enhance overall comfort and ambiance within a space. They offer flexibility in adjusting lighting to suit various activities or moods, from bright illumination for working to softer, ambient lighting for relaxation or entertaining.

What are The Difference between Mini Dimmer, Flush Dimmer and Flush Dimmer 0-10V?
The distinction between the Flush Dimmer/Mini Dimmer and the Flush Dimmer 0-10V lies in their connectivity to lights and the dimming process. The Flush Dimmer/Mini Dimmer directly connects to the light and the dimming is done by the device, whereas the Flush Dimmer 0-10V links to lights via the driver. It transmits a 0-10V signal to the driver, directing the dimming level, and the driver executes the dimming function.
Typically employed in homes with a limited number of lights, the Mini Dimmer and Flush Dimmer control a few lights individually. Conversely, the Flush Dimmer 0-10V regulates multiple lights concurrently, suitable for settings like offices, halls, and similar spaces.
The Mini Dimmer, essentially an updated version of the Flush Dimmer but smaller in size, offers distinctive advantages. It can connect without the N-phase and features a status indication light, ensuring enhanced security levels. It maintains simplicity with fewer associations and parameters, lacks additional inputs, doesn’t support temperature sensor attachment, yet handles higher power compared to the Flush Dimmer.
