This not only extends the life of LEDs but also increases the life of the phosphor coating that is used to produce white light. Helps designers create ambient lighting presets to create mood settings. Increases flexibility in usage of space. A brightly lit space for reading or an office space can turn into a presentation/conference area by dimming. Increases productivity by enabling individual control of lights in order to reduce eye strain and fatigue, or to improve concentration."
