| Energy savings by dimming capabilities from 1...100 % Cost-effective indoor lighting through energy savings with QTi DIM dimming range 1...100 % Energy consumption
Savings Consumption Dimmable QTi ECG offer a high potential for energy savings as the energy consumption decreases/increases in almost perfect correspondence to dim setting and luminous flux. Dimming with the QTi DIM will not have any negative effect on lamp life because of the intelligent addressing of the filament preheating mechanism of the fluorescent lamp in dependence on the dim setting. When used in conjunction with OSRAM LMS (light management systems), the devices offer potential energy savings of up to 70 % for daylight-dependent lighting applications with presence mode. |
| Limitation of maximum dim setting - EN12464 Cost-effective indoor lighting through energy savings with QTi DIM dimming range 1...100 % Energy consumption
Savings Consumption The as-new value for the illumination levels of a lighting system is above the required maintenance value according to EN 12464. Consequently, it is possible to reduce the illumination levels in a new system to achieve additional energy savings. It is possible to set and store this value in the QTi DALI ECG via DALI gateways to the building system technology. This permanent dimming process will not have any negative effect on lamp life because of the optimized addressing of the filament pre-heating mechanism. |
| Maximum lamp life for frequent switching Cost-effective indoor lighting because of long lamp life motion sensor 300,000 switchings with one lamp on QTi DIM
One lamp operated on QTi DIM can withstand as much as 300,000 switching cycles without any negative effects on lamp life. The gentle preheated ignition of the lamp via the optimized addressing of the filament preheating mechanism allows high switching frequencies without affecting maximum lamp life. The Touch DIM Sensor from OSRAM's range of LMS may be used as motion sensor. |
| Flexible lamp choice through intelligent lamp detection Flexible lighting planning and cost-effective conversions in buildings
intelligent lamp detection The intelligent lamp detection of QTi DIM ECG facilitates a flexible lamp choice for one and the same type of luminaire. This makes for more ease and flexibility in planning lighting installations, and during conversions, it is possible to vary maximum illumination levels, fitting luminaires with the wrong lamp models are now a thing of the past. Light management solutions from OSRAM's LMS range will ideally complement QTi DIM ECG in application-specific light management solutions. |

| Light management without control gear with Touch DIM Sensor Inexpensive solution for manual dimming applications and intelligent individual luminaires
QTi DALI DIM ECG come with an integrated Touch DIM Sensor feature. Manual dimming of luminaires fitted with QTi DALI ECG is via a conventional switch/button, and it is possible to preset a scene for the luminaire. Installation of an additional Touch DIM Sensor from OSRAM's range of LMS will facilitate the daylight-dependent control of intelligent individual luminaires with presence detection. For detailed installation notes, please consult our DALI Handbook, which is available from the Download Center. Touch DIM installation notes in brief:

| Fast dimming for RGB applications Representative light effects over long lamp life dimming range 1...100 % dynamic RGB effect lighting applications Dimmable QTi DALI ECG facilitate very fast dynamic dimming processes for RGB light effect applications too. The intelligent addressing of the filament preheating mechanism ensures that lamps run on QTi DIM ECG enjoy their maximum life even in dimming mode. The light management system Easy Color Control will ideally complement QTi DIM ECG in RGB colored light applications from OSRAM's range of LMS. And of course, we offer the well-tried OSRAM System Guarantee for lighting solutions with QTi DIM ECG, too. |
| Integration in emergency lighting systems according to (VDE 0108) VDE 0100-560 and -718 Inexpensive realisation of emergency lighting systems through the use of standard luminaires at a most effective utilization of the central battery.
QTi DALI DIM ECG can be run on 198...276 V DC voltage, which allows for integration in Emergency Lighting Systems. In the case of an emergency, the emergency power supply will supply the standard lamps assigned emergency system; the QTi DIM ECG will ignite the lamps within 0.6 s. It is possible to preset the luminous flux of each "standard emergency light" through the DALI parameters [system failure level] via DALI Gateways to the building systems technology or the OSRAM DLT Tool.

| Additional light and energy savings through cut-off technology Cost-effective indoor lighting and reliable lighting planning Comparison of energy consumption at dim setting 100 % with DIM ECG without cut-off technology At dim settings between 80 %...100 %, QTi DIM ECG switch off the filament preheating mechanism by the way of their cut-off feature, in addition to optimised ECG design for lower energy consumption and lower heat load. Luminaires with a high protection type will particularly benefit from this feature as it will lend them a higher level of luminaire efficiency - and for the luminaire designer this means more freedom in developing new lamp designs. The use of QTi DIM ECG will boost the luminous flux of the lighting system by up to 10 %. (Example: IP65 luminaire with T8 58 W on QTi 1×58 W DIM ECG) Energy consumption will, depending on the ECG model, be reduced by up to 10 % as compared to conventional DIM ECG without cut-off capabilities.
