    Frage Do I have to disconnect the power supply of a Mitras lightbar at full dim??

    I just bought a Mitras Ocean Blue Lightbar and will connect it to my Profilux and use the serial connection to dim the lightbar.

    My question: do I need to disconnect(by means of a controlled socket on a Profilux powerbar) the power supply of the Mitras lightbar when fully dimmed(no light, lights is off, 0%). Or can I just leave the power supply always plugged into a normal powersocket, and thus alway leave the power connected to the power supply of the Mitras Lightbar even when the light is off(fully dimmed)


    With Kind Regards,
    Jack

    There is no need for a switched socket. The lightbar is able to dim to zero (in different to T5), however, some people reported a very low glowing of the LEDs at 0%

    at 0% the LEDs are completely shut off, there can't be a glowing of the LEDs caused by the driver
    mostly this "glowing" comes from other LEDs which are not at 0% and the remote phosphor of LEDs, which are actually off, reacts

    however, the PSU consumpts in standby some energy
    if you want to save energy then you can switch of the PSU when all LEDs are off

    Thank you for the information...... I am no going to switch down the power supply of my the Mitras lightbar , have much better us of the powerbar socket. I will just dim down the light to 0%, and leave it at that. I don't have the "glow effect"
