高级工程师不一定就比技术员强,理论要联系实际。
Dimmer Switches work by reducing the power delivered to your light bulb. They do this by trimming a section of waveform, either on the leading edge or trailing edge of the wave. Manufacturers have designed their LEDs to be compatible with the majority of common ‘trailing edge’ household dimmers. Trailing edge dimmers are slightly more complicated and more expensive than the ‘leading edge’ versions but they have many more desirable features such as smooth control, silent running, soft start and multi-way dimming that greatly enhance the life of the LEDs. For a more comprehensive run down of dimming and dimmer switches in general, check out our Dimming for Dummies guide.
Trailing edge dimmers are designed to fade the voltage to zero rather than switch it abruptly off, by applying a resistance to create a ramp. This increases the amount of heat dissipated, since the resistive period generates heat.
Leading Edge
Predominantly used with incandescent or mains halogen light bulbs, leading edge dimmers are compatible with resistive or inductive loads and are able to reduce the load by shortening the cycle at the leading edge of the input waveform.
