Jordan O'BrienHamilton Litestat has unveiled another product aimed at making lighting more intelligent; this time aimed at taking LED dimming to the next level through the use of an ‘Intelligent’ LED Grid module.
The GRID100LED Grid module monitors and programmes itself for best dimming performance when used with the same or mixed branded LEDs.
Hamilton has ensured that it has been designed to work with a wide range of mains dimmable lamps and luminaires, as well as a variety of grid plate designs, so that it can be the ideal product for retrofit applications.
GRID100LED is compatible with the Hamilton, BG, Crabtree, Deta, MK, Hager and GET Grid Plates when used with a Grid Kit, which comes with one large and one small dimmer knob, grid tops and an installation tool.
Gavin Williams, marketing manager for Hamilton Litestat explains: “Based on our highly successful Grid-IT range, the GRID 100LED has been designed to deliver ultimate flexibility and is extremely straightforward to install.
“We have spent a significant amount of time during the research and development process focused on ensuring this new module fulfills and exceeds the LED dimming control expectations of electrical contractors and installers.”
The GRID100LED Grid Module allows the dimmer mode to be manually selected: ‘Leading Edge’ (Max 75W) or ‘Trailing Edge’ (Max 100W).
It can be auto-adjusted to deliver the best dimming performance and minimum/maximum levels can be adjusted without removing the dimmer from the wall.
For the user’s convenience, it can be used as part of a multi-way dimming operation allowing them to switch and dim the lights from multiple points using Hamilton’s retractive switches or toggles.
The GRID100LED has an in-built thermal overload protection device and the soft start feature has been designed to extend lamp life to its maximum.
