In November, we were again at the LED + ELEKTRO trade fair held in the Brabanthallen. EcoDim was here with a number of new products. We had a renewed ECO-DIM.03 (dimmer up to 0-450W LED power), the new ECO-DIM.08 and ECO-DIM.09 (floor and cord dimmers) and the newest ECO-DIM.07 SMART LED dimmer with a push/swivel button.

As always, it was pleasantly busy at our stand.

This year, the trade fair organisers had asked us to give a seminar on dimming LED lighting. This was in response to the trend report presented annually by the LED + ELEKTRO organisation. It revealed that in most cases, problems arise when dimming LED lighting.

However, the data show that a quarter to a third of respondents have (very) negative
experiences with issues such as LED dimming, flicker, compatibility and
mains pollution.

Almost half of the respondents (47%) named the improvement in colour rendering/fidelity as
one of the three most important improvements in the past two years, and a quarter even named this
most important improvement. Although a significant proportion of respondents report negative
experiences, 45% of respondents cite dimming
led as one of the most important improvements in LED lighting installations over the past two
years.

Most respondents say they are looking for more information about dimming
led. Respondents' questions around LED dimming suggest that
simplification of (application of) dimming techniques through standardisation and new products
is desired by many respondents. A number of questions about future control systems,
system integration and product development show that there is a lot of demand for systems
and products that are easier to apply and more user-friendly. In addition,
it emerges that there is a demand for more possibilities to make the quality of products recognisable
(by means of a hallmark or quality label) so that there is no need to compete solely on price
.

At EcoDim, we are of course aware of these "issues" and have already made sure in recent years that we have adapted our products to the problems arising in the market. As a result, our products are able to tackle a whole range of problems that arise in the market, making LED dimming problems nil.

For example, in recent years we have had a MIN/MAX meter installed in the dimmers, allowing the light to be set in the minimum and maximum light levels, thus eliminating flickering. We also try to filter mains pollution as much as possible with electronics in the dimmer.

Because there is a lot of confusion in the market about dimming LED lighting and what to look out for, we gave a seminar on this subject at the trade fair. It was the most well-attended seminar of the fair. For this reason, we also wrote out the step-by-step plan in a blog post so that everyone can read back what the seminar was about. See post: FIRST AID FOR DIMMING.

To properly demonstrate our product range, we made special demo blocks so that everyone could immediately test one of our strengths, namely the stable and far-reaching dimming of LED lighting.
