NovaT 0-10V Dimmer and PowPak Dimming Module with 0-10V Control Now Available! 

With the introduction of LED lighting to our industry over the past couple years, we watched a new frontier emerge, a modern day version of the Wild West, if you will.  With no standardization on technology, it seems you see marketing for LED lamps everywhere you turn claiming "long life!" and "dimmable!"  

However, much of the product in the marketplace is unreliable since there are no standards that manufacturers must follow.  We are happy to say that this is changing.  The larger lighting manufacturers such as Cooper, Lithonia, and Cree are introducing hi-bay or lay-in LED fixtures comparable to the standard fluorescent fixtures standard with 0-10V dimming capability. 

The question that arises is what controls you use to dim these new 0-10V LED fixtures.  Our friends at Lutron Electronics recently released two very exciting product solutions:  the 0-10V Nova T wallbox control and the PowPak Dimming Module with 0-10V single room control, which works seamlessly with Lutron's line of Energi Tri-Pak products including Pico controls and Radio Powr Savr wireless occupancy sensors.

The NovaT 0-10V wallbox dimmer is rated for 120-277 volt control of 0-10V rated LED drivers or ballasts.  You can control loads up to 8 amps without a power pack.  The NovaT 0-10V dimmer is considered a small control, which means it installs nicely in a single gang box.  It is available in the standard matte finishes, and is coming soon to a Hein Service Center near you.
*Please note:  The NovaT 0-10V wallbox dimmer is only available in single pole. 

The PowPak dimming module with 0-10V control allows you to control 0-10V drivers, ballasts, or fixtures, and works seamlessly with the wireless daylight sensors, occupancy sensors, and Pico controls. Perfect for multi-location.  Also coming soon to a Hein shelf near you.

Both options are cost-effective at only $90 each, and are perfect for use in areas such as classrooms, hallways, warehouses, office spaces, and conference rooms. 

As always, our Lighting Department is happy to help.
