Low voltage dimming has always been used for incandescent lamps in scenery, props, and costumes, and is often paired with City Theatrical's SHoW DMX wireless DMX to allow wireless dimming. The real growth in this area today is the dimming of LED tape, which has growing use in all areas of entertainment.
City Theatrical now has a line of 10 products for lighting professionals, and has rebranded the entire group of dimmers to make it more logical to choose which one to use. The dimmers in the new product line are:
