The paper surveys the use of fluorescent dimming for different lighting applications. New requirements have led to the development of new circuits which are briefly discussed. A short description of the lighting equipment is followed by a consideration of some uses of dimming in industrial lighting. The potentialities of fluorescent stage lighting are discussed in the light of experience. Other applications considered include colour changing floodlighting of buildings, outdoor illuminations and display lighting. It is concluded that fluorescent dimming has made possible new and artistic lighting effects.
