0-10V Dimming

0–10V; analog dimming

0-10V dimming is the analog, one-way, non-proprietary control signal behind most commercial dimming: a low-voltage wire pair carries a 0-to-10-volt signal that sets light output at the driver. It carries dimming only — no feedback, individual addressability, or energy, occupancy, and diagnostics data.

What it is

Treat 0-10V respectfully as the incumbent — the upgrade argument is data and addressability, not disrespect. The page draws the cluster's highest definitional traffic and routes data-ambitious readers to DALI-2 and NLC within two paragraphs.
