Dimmer as an energy saver? Lighting makes up 40% of the energy consumption in private homes P121135 2
Energy efficiency can be so simple Rotary solutions Pleasant lighting situations are best achieved with dimmed lighting. Full lighting is rather unpleasant for most living situations. Energy efficiency is often achieved with small details. For example, only use as much light as is required. This is no problem with s. We have continued to improve the rotary with regard to energy efficiency. The new nickel-plated steel retaining rings and details, like the new 4-mm-thick steel axis in the rotary s, speak the same language: longevity. Another factor which stands for energy efficiency. The installation is considerably simplified with the new bases and thanks to the flattened corners, the inserts are easier to mount in the wall box. But that's not all. On the following pages you will find out more about all of these new features. Up to 20% energy savings Lighting Dimmer solutions Dimming the light by 25% means a total energy savings of 20% 3
Dimmers as mood setters? Perfect lighting for creating the right mood is usually somewhere between "on" and "off" P121221 4
The right for every requirement Dimming is easy savings You can dim the lights, regardless of whether you want to control incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps and halogen lamps. Electric motors in fans, for example, can also be regulated. When selecting the right rotary, there is a multitude of high-quality products in numerous design lines. The following inserts now provide solutions for every use. New inserts Rotary for ohmic load, 400W, on/off Rotary for ohmic load, 400W, Rotary for inductive load, 600VA, Rotary for capacitive load, 315VA, Rotary for capacitive load, 630VA, Universal rotary, 420VA, P121229 P121230 P121231 P121226 P121227 P121228 P121223 P121224 P121225 Universal rotary, 600VA, Electronic potentiometer, 1 10V Speed controller, 400VA, one-way 5
Dimmers for the living area Dimming is easy savings Application example Living room P121232 Rotary, M-Smart, polar white P121239 When the living room is transformed into a home theater, the brightness of the lighting is decisive for the right mood. If it's all the way off, it's too dark, and not good for the eyes. Fixed lighting doesn't allow for a "cinema feeling". Here, s are the perfect solution for making lighting fit for Hollywood. Application example Bedroom P121234 Rotary, M-Plan, aluminium P121238 In the bedroom, it is especially important to be able to specifically adjust the light. The range of different situations is very high here. From appealing reading light to working light when folding clean laundry, a is the perfect solution to every situation with the right amount of light. 6
Application example Conference room P121235 Rotary, M-Plan, polar white P121237 During business meetings, usually clear, bright lighting is required. But when a beamer is brought into the game, the lighting has to be turned down. And after the presentation, usually the golden mean something in between bright and dim is desired. Here, the is the success factor for every meeting. Application example Office space P121233 Rotary, M-Plan, polar white P121236 In office spaces, daylight is often the best work lighting. For computer work, however, too much sunlight is irritating due to the screen reflections. Here, too, specific light control via s is the best way to always get optimum lighting. 7
