DIMMING
As the light dims the CCT will warm from 3000K at its brightest intensity (100%) to 1800K at its lowest intensity.
These theatrical lighting scenarios and contrast levels on an artwork or 3D object can be saved by pressing the ‘X’ on the
MOTOLUX remote control.

The combination of precise beam angles and light intensity can affect lighting scenarios that dramatise exhibits and create a
perception of an artwork or sculpture to be radiating light.
Dimming light is associated with creating a sense of increased intimacy, so the desire for light to become “warmer” as it dims
can also be achieved. MOTOLUX fixtures also offer a Dim2Warm™ option which enables the visible light spectrum to warm to
the more ‘red’ end of the colour spectrum.
As light is dimmed, pupils will dilate and let in more light. Studies support that an increased pupil results in heightened visual
exploration. Dimming the brightness of the light is a useful tool when exhibiting larger, complex pieces to draw the observer’s
attention to applied techniques, while increasing the light intensity can compliment brightly coloured artworks.
It is a delicate process to find this ideal balance while ensuring that an artwork is neither under nor over-exposed.
MOTOLUX enables the user to easily experiment with different levels of light intensity through its built-in LaserDim™ driver
engineered for high-quality, smooth and accurate dimming , flicker- free and without an abrupt “pop-off” at the lowest level.
With MOTOLUX’s user-friendly remote control fixtures can be dimmed individually or in groups. Alternative dimming control
options such as CASAMBI™ or DMX are also available.
