The dimming curve setting (
•
, the linear dimming curve, is the default setting. It applies a linear increase in RMS voltage to the
lamp as the dimmer is opened. This gives a relatively even dimming curve, but with slightly finer control of
light intensity at low intensity levels than at high intensity levels.
•
, the square-law dimming curve, gives much finer control of light intensity at low intensity levels,
allowing easier fine-tuning of atmospheric or sunrise/sunset effects, for example.
