an Innovation Award is made to Doyle and Tratt Products Ltd

for devising the world’s first universal energy-saving dimmer-switchFor LED lighting. The majority of the lamp systems on the market today incorporate LED technology; the drive circuitry varying

considerably between types. There were many challengesin designing adimmer-switch applicable to any make of lamp,ensuring that it can both control the low electrical loads of LED lights and do so without flickering. Each dimmer-switch offers

three operating modes from which users make selections according to particular lighting type. Thus, the brightness of dimmable LED lighting of all types can be adjusted smoothly. These compact products can be retro-fittedin place of traditional

dimmer-switches, or amodular version is available to fit existing faceplates. Supplied to many major lighting companiesworldwide, the innovation is leading to significant uptake of energy saving lighting by consumers, hitherto deterred by theincompatibility of other dimmers with LED lights.
