Dimming and controls.

Every Elium fixture dims to 1% as standard. Choose the driver for the control system on the job, then check the wall dimmer against the list Elium has tested.

Step 1

Choose the driver.

The driver code is part of the housing or frame number. The builder on each product page offers only the drivers that family takes.

System control

DALI-2 and Lutron Athena.

With a DALI-2 driver (AL, or BT for Tunable White) each fixture is addressed on the DALI bus, and with the Lutron Athena node (LN) the fixture joins an Athena system. Neither uses a wall dimmer: dimming to 0.1% is set up and programmed by the controls contractor. Lutron Athena is not offered on Canless or Double Head Canless.
