当我们打开LED驱动电源的规格书时，经常能看到“调光曲线”这个词。调光曲线是调光过程中不可忽视的存在，它决定了灯光从暗到亮，从亮到暗时的变化特征，直接影响调光效果。
When we open the specification of LED driver power supply, we often see the word "dimming curve". The dimming curve is an important existence in the dimming process. It determines the changing characteristics of the light from dark to bright and from bright to dark, and directly affects the dimming effect.
调光设备在接收到输入信号后，会根据预定的函数进行光输出，这个函数就是调光曲线。
After receiving the input signal, the dimming device will output light according to a predetermined function, which is the dimming curve.调光曲线有很多种，线性、对数和Gamma调光曲线是较为常见的调光曲线，下面将对这三种调光曲线进行详细介绍。There are many kinds of dimming curves. Linear, logarithmic and gamma dimming curves are the more common ones. The following will introduce these three dimming curves in detail.线性调光曲线
在线性调光曲线下，调光信号与灯光亮度的变化是成比例的，也就是说，如果调光信号增加了10%，那么灯光亮度也会相应地增加10%，反之亦然。一般来说，在需要精确控制亮度的场所（如展览、摄影棚等），线性调光曲线可能更为方便。Under the linear dimming curve, the dimming signal is proportional to the change in light brightness, that is, if the dimming signal increases by 10%, the light brightness will also increase by 10%, and vice versa. Generally speaking, linear dimming curves may be more convenient in places where precise brightness control is required (such as exhibitions, studios, etc.).Linear dimming curve
线性调光曲线简单直观，用户也更容易理解和控制灯光的亮度。然而，线性调光并不总是符合人眼的视觉感受，因为人眼在低亮度时，对灯光的变化非常敏感，即使亮度有微小的增加，人眼也能轻易捕捉，而在高亮度时，人眼对灯光的变化则相对不敏感。The linear dimming curve is simple and intuitive, and it is easier for users to understand and control the brightness of the light. However, linear dimming does not always conform to the visual perception of the human eye, because the human eye is very sensitive to changes in light at low brightness, and can easily capture even a slight increase in brightness, while at high brightness, the human eye is relatively insensitive to changes in light.
对数调光曲线
Logarithmic dimming curve为了适应人眼的视觉特性，对数调光曲线应运而生。与线性调光曲线不同，对数调光曲线在低亮度时，灯光亮度变化缓慢，过渡更加自然；在高亮度时，灯光亮度的变化较快，不易被人眼察觉，更符合人眼的感知特性。因为更符合人眼的视觉习惯，对数调光曲线在照明设计中被广泛应用，特别是在需要提升灯光调光效果和满足人眼视觉感知的场景。In order to adapt to the visual characteristics of the human eye, the logarithmic dimming curve came into being. Different from the linear dimming curve, the light brightness changes slowly at low brightness, and the transition is more natural; at high brightness, the light brightness changes quickly and is not easily noticed by the human eye, which is more in line with the perception characteristics of the human eye. Because it is more in line with the visual habits of the human eye, the logarithmic dimming curve is widely used in lighting design, especially in scenes that need to improve the dimming effect of the light and meet the visual perception of the human eye.Logarithmic dimming curve
伽马调光曲线
Gamma dimming curve
伽马曲线描述了亮度信号与显示亮度、人眼感知之间的非线性关系，通过合理调整Gamma值，可以优化照明区域的亮度分布，使得亮度更加均匀、柔和，减少眩光和阴影现象。The gamma curve describes the nonlinear relationship between the brightness signal and the display brightness and human eye perception. By properly adjusting the Gamma value, the brightness distribution of the lighting area can be optimized, making the brightness more uniform and softer, and reducing glare and shadow phenomena.
伽马调光曲线并非只有一种曲线变化，实际上它代表着一系列的曲线，当Gamma值等于1.0时，曲线为与坐标轴成45°的直线，就是前文所讲的线性调光曲线。
The gamma dimming curve does not have only one curve change. In fact, it represents a series of curves. When the Gamma value is equal to 1.0, the curve is a straight line that is 45° to the coordinate axis, which is the linear dimming curve mentioned above.
Gamma2.2曲线图
在观察不同Gamma值对调光曲线的不同影响后，我们会发现这样一个特点：假定曲线横坐标小于30%的部分为暗区，当Gamma值越大，暗区的变化越平缓，而Gamma值越小时，暗区的变化越陡峭。After observing the different effects of different Gamma values on the dimming curve, we will find such a feature: assuming that the part of the curve with a horizontal coordinate less than 30% is the dark area, the larger the Gamma value, the smoother the change of the dark area, and the smaller the Gamma value, the steeper the change of the dark area.
Gamma值越大，暗区的变化越平缓
The larger the Gamma valuethe smoother the change in the dark area
Gamma值越小时，暗区的变化越陡峭
The smaller the Gamma value,
the steeper the change in the dark area
指数调光曲线
Exponential dimming curve在指数调光曲线中，灯光亮度与输入信号呈指数关系。随着输入信号的增加，灯光亮度的增加速度在低功率区域较慢，在高功率区域较快。
In the exponential dimming curve, the light brightness is exponentially related to the input signal. As the input signal increases, the light brightness increases more slowly in the low power area and faster in the high power area.
指数曲线也是符合人眼感知特性的调光曲线，因为它是低亮度时缓慢点亮，后段陡亮，高亮度区变化较快，不易被人眼察觉，符合人眼的感知特性。
The exponential curve is also a dimming curve that conforms to the perception characteristics of the human eye, because it lights up slowly at low brightness, brightens suddenly in the latter part, and changes rapidly in the high brightness area, which is not easily detected by the human eye and conforms to the perception characteristics of the human eye.
Comparison of four dimming curves
Why do we need to apply different dimming curves?
1.满足不同暗区更加细腻的调光需求
Meet the more delicate dimming needs of different dark areas通过应用不同的调光曲线，能够更好地适应暗区照明的特殊要求。例如博物馆这些特定场所，它的暗区往往需要有更细腻的灯光调控，这样可以确保观众更清晰地看到展品的细节，同时不会因光线过强而对展品造成损害。By applying different dimming curves, the special requirements of dark area lighting can be better met. For example, in specific places such as museums, dark areas often require more delicate lighting control, which can ensure that visitors can see the details of the exhibits more clearly without damaging the exhibits due to excessive light.
2.匹配不同的调光器
当调光器的调光行程与输出的亮度信号不是线性时，如果希望光输出是线性变化的，那么就需要不同的调光曲线。When the dimming stroke of the dimmer is not linear with the output brightness signal, if you want the light output to change linearly, a different dimming curve is required.
通过上文的阐述，相信大家对调光曲线都有了初步了解，现在，让我们将理论回归实际应用。随着技术的不断进步，用户对调光曲线的应用便捷性提出了更高的要求。
