The use of TRIAC dimmers in LED systems causes unwanted flicker, visible to the eye, due to phase modulation. The RACT20 (230VAC or 115VAC input, constant currents of 350, 500, 700 or 1050mA) can be dimmed linearly and without flicker down to zero due to a specially developed TRIAC input, which is not affected by the PFC-circuit. An ideal solution for many LED systems!
