Dimming Commercial LED: 0-10V & Lighting Controls
Dimming is no longer just for ambiance. In commercial spaces it tunes light to the task, harvests daylight, and saves energy. But LED dimming has its own rules. This guide covers the basics, centered on 0-10V.
0-10V is the most common commercial dimming standard. Paired with dimmable panels and controls, it lets you set light levels by zone, schedule, or daylight.
Why 0-10V
0-10V is a simple, reliable, low-voltage dimming method widely supported in commercial fixtures and controls. A separate pair of control wires tells the driver how bright to run.
What You Can Do With It
- Set comfortable levels in offices and conference rooms.
- Harvest daylight near windows and skylights.
- Combine with occupancy sensors for dim-when-vacant.
Specifying Dimmable Fixtures
Confirm the fixture is 0-10V dimmable and pair it with a compatible control. The panels and troffers guide covers dimmable options for grid ceilings.
Tune Light to the Task
Dimmable fixtures and 0-10V controls give you the right level in every space.
