Soft-on & Soft-off

Why Soft-on & Soft-off Matters

🔆 Problem: Hard on/off switching causes sudden changes in light intensity, which can be uncomfortable and fatiguing for the eyes. This is especially critical in environments like offices, classrooms, and healthcare facilities where lighting comfort directly affects wellbeing.

⚠️ Additionally, frequent hard switching can stress LED drivers, leading to premature failure and increased maintenance costs.

How Soft-on & Soft-off Works

🌟 The feature gently ramps the light up when switched on and smoothly dims it down when switched off, preventing abrupt changes.

🕰️ This soft transition gives eyes time to adjust naturally, enhancing visual comfort and creating an elegant, high-end lighting ambiance.

🛡️ At the same time, it reduces electrical stress on the LED driver’s components, helping to extend the lifespan of your lighting fixtures.

Operation Logic

• When the light is switched on, the output voltage/current gradually increases from zero to full brightness within a preset soft-on duration (typically a few seconds).
• When switched off, the output similarly decreases gradually to zero over a soft-off duration.
• This controlled ramping is managed internally by the sensor or driver firmware, requiring no external adjustment.
