The triac is synchronized to the AC line through signals obtained at zero crossingsTriac-firingThe zero crossing signals are then used to fire the triac to give the correct dimmed waveform© 2004, Joshua S.

Lester 10Control AlgorithmClosed-loop proportional controlThe ceiling illuminance is 100 lux with no daylight present (from the 5:1 work-plane: ceiling ratio)Desired work-plane illuminance 500 luxDaylight enters the room and adds 250 luxRate of dimming was set to -0.25% per lux0.25% per lux X 250 lux = 62.5% This sets the luminaire light output to: 100 lux - (62.5% X 100 lux) = 37.5 lux. The total ceiling illuminance is now 37.5 lux + 250 lux = 287.5 lux. [9] CL Example© 2004, Joshua S.
