Unlike the general lighting systems, stage lighting system requires accurate dimming control and reduction of flicker phenomenon. In this paper, we studied PWM dimming control and linear voltage level control methods. PWM Dimming is easy control and flicker phenomenon of linear voltage level dimming does not happen by experiment result. We concluded that stage lighting dimming system required to combine two techniques of the PWM and linear voltage level dimming control method.

In this paper, we have studied a dimming level control method to satisfy both lighting and communication performance in visible light communication system. In the case of the most commonly used OOK and RZ-OOK modulation schemes, continuous Burst Zero Duration will seriously degrade the lighting function. This causes not only the illumination but also the performance of the entire system to deteriorate. Through this study, we analyzed the dimming level characteristics of the existing system and proposed the Illegal Pulse Insertion (IPI) algorithm as a technique to increase the dimming level. Through this, it is possible to effectively control the dimming level and improve the QoS of both lighting and communication by resolving the flicker phenomenon and dimming level reduction in the existing modulation and demodulation system.

In this paper, an intelligent dimming control system is designed and implemented with the human visual response function using CDS sensor, PIR sensor and temperature sensor, etc. The proposed system is designed to detect a moving object by PIR sensor and to control the LED dimming considering the human visual response. Also, the dimming of LED light can modulate on the app, and simultaneously control dimming in real-world environments with smart phone app. A high-temperature warning or a fire hazard information is transmitted to user's smart phone according to sensor values and Data graph are provided as part of data visualization. Connecting the hardware controller, the proposed intelligent smart dimming control system is expected to contribute to the power reduction interior LED, smart grid building and saving home combining with internet of things.

The daylight responsive dimming system is an energy saving system that automatically controls lighting output of artificial lighting according to available daylight in inside, as well as keeps uniform workplace illuminance. The basic three components of the daylight responsive dimming system consist of a photosensor, a controller and a dimming ballast. This paper is a fundamental study of photosensor modeling for the daylight responsive dimming system. The correlation between photosensor illuminance on the ceiling and workplace illuminance is an important factor to accuracy of system performance, so that the purpose of this study is to improve accuracy for daylight responsive dimming system. This study performs to derive the optimized conditions of photosensor using the RADIANCE.

This paper presents field measurements on daylighting and electric lighting with dimming controlled systems for a small office in Seoul, Korea. And the main purpose of this study is to provide the evaluation data of lighting energy performance when a dimming system is installed. For the performance evaluation, the mock-up room(3.6x7.2x2.6[m]) was used for the actual test. The results of this study were as follows; 1) The correlation between daylight illuminance at a workplane(Ed) and the photosensor signal(Sd) was an important factor affecting the performance of daylight responsive dimming system, 2) The mock-up office space gained a sufficient workplace illuminance of 579[lux] with the dimming control system 3) About 53[%J of monthly lighting energy could be saved using the dimming control system.

For several years, many researchers have proposed LED backlight dimming technology for low power consumption and high contrast ratio. One of the major issues plaguing RGB LED with 2D dimming technology is color shift. This undesirable variation makes it difficult to use RGB LED as light sources in the backlight system. This paper describes the useful method of the optical feedback system for 2D dimming RGB LED backlight. The test results show that our proposed method is very suitable for the 2D dimming technology.

Recently, a drain of energy resources is issued seriously. The daylight responsive dimming systems can reduce electric energy uses. But, we cannot predict amounts of energy-saving and accuracy of system performance. Therefore, the purpose of this study is a development of software for the system performance of daylight responsive dimming systems. The principle of this software based on luminous flux transfer method and finite elements method. The control algorithm of this software and daylight responsive dimming systems use the same algorithm. In addition the advantages of this software are use to same algorithm of daylight responsive dimming systems, electric power-luminous flux data and rates of frequency of sky conditions. Therefore, this software can predict more correct calculation about illuminance and amounts of energy-saving of daylight responsive dimming systems.

Recently, energy depleting problem have risen seriously. Many studies of daylight responsive dimming system for saving of lighting energy in office buildings have been done actively. Most of studies are focused on the accuracy. However if the variation of dimming levels is changed too often, occupants would feel uncomfortable. First, illuminance changes which occupants couldn't detect are studied through analyzing foreign studies. Second, workplan illuminance from daylight in each sky condition is measured. Because the dimming level In daylight responsive dimming system is dependent on the workplan illuminance from daylight. In conclusion, the most appropriate polling periods to daylight responsive dimming system for occupant's visual comfort was determined.

This paper presents the structure of a dimming control system for multiple fluorescent lamps. The dimming control system is composed of a phase angle controller, a transducer, and dimmable ballasts. In these ballasts, dimming control is achieved by varying the switching frequency that is controlled by the external DC level.
