The new universal LED dimmer from EHMANN
Multipurpose operation: Independent from switch range and
LED-manufacturer – green works!
A dimmer everyone will benefit from – no matter if industry, commerce, specialized electrical shops or the consumer. With the new T55.00 Universal5 LED-Dimmer we set a new benchmark and end the search for a fitting dimmer to your LED. Through the newly integrated ISO-gate® Technology you can use this one dimmer to dim any kind of light source.

Technical data
How does the ISO-gate® Technology work?
The new ISO-gate Technology by EHMANN makes dimming reliable and stands for a maximum of LED compatibility with different kinds of LEDs, no matter which type or manufacturer the LED is from. In the past, the challenge was to find the right combination of dimmer and LED, as only the most compatible systems would deliver a satisfying dimming performance. But that is over now! With the new T55 dimmer family we managed to create dimmer for all kinds of light sources. It’s not necessary to search extensively for the right combination of LED and dimmer anymore.
The ISO-gate® Technology is based on complex dimming switching circuits that are able to communicate with different LED electronics and to control them. No matter whether Retrofit or driver controlled, every LED has its own individual electronic inside. The consequence: Standard dimmers tend to fail more and more often. Due to that fact, our aim was to create a new dimming technology that would be able to control the newest LED technologies as well. We put our focus on the filament LED’s in particular, as their autonomous electronic requires a special dimming Technology.
- Unique combination of new power components and outstanding triggering software
- Manual control of the dimming principle (leading or trailing edge)
- “Natural triggering” allows a dynamic interaction between dimmer and LED
- Best dimming performances with different LEDs
- A maximum of compatibility – Dims even the newest LED technologies
What does manual control of the dimming principle mean?
Some LEDs are best controlled by the leading edge principle; others are best handled with the trailing edge principle. But universal dimmers with automatic load detection only use the trailing edge principle, due to the capacitive load of the LED. In many cases though, the leading edge principle would be the better solution. The advantage of the new EHMANN Universal LED dimmer lies within the possibility of changing the dimming principle manually. That allows the customer to use the dimming principle that best fits the connected LED. An additional feature is the possibility to changing the minimum and maximum brightness, which provides the dimmer with a maximum of flexibility for best dimming performances.
Wherein lies the advantage of the automatic detection of neutral conductor?
Standard dimmers only work with two wires. This technology was quite sufficient for dimming standard lamps, such as incandescent and halogen lamps. But LEDs are quite complex, and with that, new dimming technologies need to be applied to guarantee a satisfied dimming. A fundamental improvement in the Universal5 LED Dimmer T55.00 is the optional possibility of using a 3-wire technology. In order to use this 3-wire technology to increase the dimming performance significantly, the neutral conductor needs to be connected to the dimmer.
As long as it is available and connected in the installation, the dimmer recognizes it autonomously and uses the natural zero crossing as an indicator to optimize its behaviour towards the leading or trailing edge principle. The “natural triggering” makes it possible to dim complex light sources as well, such as filament LEDs and LED drivers. Should the neutral conductor not be existent in the domestic installation, the dimmer works with the 2-wire operation automatically and with that can be operated in every environment.
The T55 Universal5 LED Dimmer Family
The rotary dimmer T55.00 is the first dimmer of the new Universal5 LED Dimmer family by the company EHMANN. Another version will be the touch dimmer for all frames of the size of 55 mm, which will be available on the market soon. Through the enclosed 55×55 rocker in different colors, it can be integrated fairly easy into switch ranges from GIRA, BuschJäger and many more. It goes without saying that the touch version offers the same new advantages as the universal dimmer offers, and also has a similar power range.
In addition to that we will complete the family with an incremental encoder that can be communicated with digitally, to make it compatible with various ports. This feature makes it possible to use other dimmers as a extension that allows you to dim the light from more than one spot.
