11.10 MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM INTENSITY
You can set minimum and maximum intensity values for a fixture or dimmer. These values are
applied “proportionately” throughout the dimming range.
Setting a maximum value for a fixture will reduce the intensity value on the output relative to
the intensity value that you have programmed.
For example. If you set a maximum of 80%, then when you program an intensity value of
100%, the fixture intensity will be 80%. If you dim the fixture to 50%, its intensity will be
40%.
A “Minimum” value is often used with incandescent lamps to “pre-heat” the filament. This can
increase lamp life by reducing the surge of current that flows through a cold filament. It also
speeds up a lamps response when it is instantly flashed to full power. A minimum value of
between 5% to 10% usually provides enough heating effect without producing noticeable light
to an audience.
To set a minimum or maximum values, select the “Intensity fade profile” as described above
and enter your required values in the minimum and maximum boxes. The current curve shows
the minimum and maximum values and the proportional level of the fade.
