Lutron Lyneo 0-10 dimmer provides Fluorescent control (9/5/2008)

Lutron Electronics Co. Inc., world leader in lighting control, has announced a new innovation in its line of Lyneo dimmers - the Lyneo 0-10 Fluorescent dimmer, which will for the first time allow installers, designers and specifiers to control 0-10 fluorescent ballasts.

Recently unveiled at the Light & Building trade show in Frankfurt in April, the new Lyneo Fluorescent dimmer enables users to coordinate a fluorescent dimmer with the other controls in their design, while maintaining the same simple to install functionality that users have come to expect from a Lutron product.

Seamless Coordination

With Lyneo 0-10 dimmers, it is possible to coordinate the look of controls throughout a property with Lutron's full line of Lyneo dimmers, including the ability to control incandescent/halogen, magnetic low voltage, electronic low voltage, and now, fluorescent load types. Available in three colours and nine metal finishes, Lyneo dimmers and switches coordinate with Lutron's full line of accessories.

Easy-to-Use

The Lyneo 0-10 dimmer features a push button on/off, enabling users to turn the lights on to a preset light level quickly and easily. The easy-to-use slider track allows for the smooth adjustment of the light level to suit any activity to give maximum flexibility in any room.

Simple Installation

With proper installation, the Lyneo 0-10 dimmer is rated to control up to thirty 0-10 ballasts for convenient control in any application. It requires the use of an external relay and 0-10 wires. It also allows users to easily adjust the high-end trim to create automatic energy savings or simply adjust for differences in 0-10 ballast performance.

Andrew Bechgaard, head of marketing EMEA at Lutron comments: "The Lyneo 0-10 Fluorescent Dimmer has been designed to give fluorescent control, while providing seamless coordination with the existing Lyneo dimmers and Lutron accessories. Like all Lutron dimmers, the new Lyneo dimmer will help users save energy, and those opting to adjust the high end trim during installation can create additional energy savings above and beyond the regular savings made through dimming."

Saving Energy the Lutron Way

Light control offers many ways to help the environment, while beautifying a home. Lutron dimmers and lighting control systems let just the right amount of light be used, reducing electricity usage, whilst extending lamp life. Lutron leads the industry in controlling energy efficient light sources and full-range dimming is now possible for a wide range of fluorescent lamp types. The trend toward LED lighting for accent and general lighting is growing, and Lutron is there to control it. Lutron is committed to helping its customers find ways to save energy...beautifully.
