Dimmable Compact Fluorescent Housings

Dimming Ballasts, which dim fluorescent lights, are commonplace in commercial, industrial, and residential buildings. The most common type of dimming ballasts that is used with fluorescent lighting utilizes a 0- to 10-volt signal to set the dimming level. At the low voltage setting, the light level output is usually about 5%. At the high voltage setting, the light level output is 100%.
