Vive La Résolution!

High resolution LED dimming is becoming commonplace. Unfortunately more bits don’t guarantee smooth fades. Here’s why.

Modular Vacuum Fixture

Our in-house designed Modular Vacuum Fixture (MVF) provides a porous surface flat to within a couple tenths (+/- 0.0002″), offers a clamping force exceeding 12 psi, and uses inexpensive sacrificial inserts that are easy to customize for specific tasks…

Tormach PCNC 770

ZulchLab projects have always involved hardware and software integration, but an increased focus on hardware design led us to bring prototype fabrication in-house. Starting in 2012 we established a prototype lab, including CNC machining, PCB fabrication, and casting...

Dimming Curve Abuse

Dimming curves can improve linearity, synchronize light output of disparate fixtures, compensate for non-linear inputs, or concentrate precise control over a narrow range. What they cannot do is everything at once. Trying to solve every aspect of lighting control with a dimming curve is a futile abuse of the mechanism.

 

Introducing Lumiglide™

Lumiglide is an improved method for LED dimming, utilizing signal processing techniques designed to accommodate the human visual system.
