There’s a new player in the world of wireless DMX: LumenRadio of Sweden. New LumenRadio CRMX devices create a robust wireless system offering excellent range and performance, complete with full implementation of RDM (Remote Device Management).
The new RC4 LumenDim3 is the perfect wireless dimmer for LumenRadio CRMX systems. Using state-of-the-art technology to squeeze more power and features into a remarkably tiny package, the LumenDim3 is ideal for RBG LED dimming, multi-channel incandescent lighting, solenoids and relays, even motors. Dimmers are 16-bit (65,535 steps) and deliver an extremely smooth inverse-square-law (ISL) curve to make LEDs look great even at the bottom of the dimming range.
Basic features and functions are accessible, easily and simply, using 5 recessed buttons on the LumenDim3 itself. For access to more advanced features, RC4 provides a USB port and a Windows application. Best of all, however, is RDM support. Using any RDM controller — including LumenRadio’s outstanding SuperNova software — a wide range of parameters can be manipulated.
“The LumenDim3 is a new class of RC4 product,” explains James David Smith, president and chief product designer at RC4. “Technologically we’re breaking new ground in numerous ways. Most notable is our new ‘digital circuit breaker’ technology, where current draw on each dimmer is constantly monitored electronically and software will shut down the dimmer when a user-specified amperage threshold is crossed. Instead of a fuse that requires replacement when something goes wrong, everything is done internally with a combination of fast and accurate electronic hardware and expertly crafted firmware. Response is faster than a physical fuse, and you can fine-tune the setting to precisely reflect the real needs of your load. This is a real breakthrough in safety and ease of troubleshooting.”
LumenDim parameters include:
- DMX channel for each dimmer
- dimming curve for each dimmer
- over-current threshold for each dimmer (digital circuit-breaker feature)
In realtime, the user can check:
- battery voltage
- current draw of each dimmer
- internal temperature of the unit
The RC4 LumenDim3 is available from the RC4 website, and select dealers worldwide.
