Solatube Australia introduces 0-10 volt Daylight Dimmer

Solatube Australia, leading manufacturer and marketer of Tubular Daylighting Devices (TDDs), offers architects, designers, and lighting engineers a new option to take daylight control to the next stage.

As demand for automatic daylight control increases, the 0-10 Volt Daylight Dimmer sets the stage for complete daylight control. Architects, designers and lighting engineers can now integrate Solatube Daylighting Systems into existing lighting systems, allowing for complete scene and time control for daylight delivery.

"It's not enough to simply deliver daylight into a space; it has to be properly controlled for optimum value," said Robert Westfall Jr., Solatube International's vice president, sales and marketing. "The daylighting industry has become more sophisticated, and this new 'smart' dimmer provides the functionality the market is demanding."

The 0-10 Volt Daylight Dimmer provides;

• Scene Control - The lighting control system can be programmed to signal the Daylight Dimmer to automatically adjust the daylight for pre-set standard tasks, such as classroom instruction or audio-visual presentations.
• Time-Clock Based Operation - The lighting control system can direct the Daylight Dimmer to provide 24-hour light management, delivering more or less daylight for optimal energy efficiencies based on the changing lighting requirements of the space throughout the day.

The patented Solatube Daylight Dimmer was initially introduced to accommodate a customer with a school application, and is an option within the Designer Touches line. The new premium 0-10 Volt Daylight Dimmer adds a higher level of functionality required in certain commercial applications and is particularly well suited for use in schools, offices and hospitality facilities.

In the mid-1980s Solatube Australia pioneered with its concept of tubular daylighting, an energy efficient alternative to the poorly designed and leak prone skylights that were on the market at the time. The company's flagship product, the Solatube Daylighting System, provides a revolutionary natural lighting solution for all types of residential and commercial applications and is the only spec-grade TDD currently available on the market. The maxim "Innovation in Daylighting" reflects the company's commitment to the development of breakthrough daylighting technologies. Widely recognised as the industry innovator, Solatube Australia has earned acclaim for its unrivalled ability to transform interior spaces with the power of daylight.
