Audio Video Term

Load Type

Load Type is an audio video term for Chicago-area smart home, theater, and commercial AV projects.

Load Type is the electrical category of a lighting load, such as LED, incandescent, magnetic low-voltage, electronic low-voltage, or fluorescent.

Example of Load Type

A Dinner scene can lower bright overhead lighting, warm accent lighting, and keep pathway lights on for safe movement through the home. In that kind of Davis lighting control project, the term Load Type would describe the electrical category of a lighting load, such as LED, incandescent, magnetic low-voltage, electronic low-voltage, or fluorescent. Davis would use that understanding to account for fixture and dimmer compatibility, keypad scenes, daylight behavior, and final light-level tuning, then test the result in the actual room, document the related components, and show the client how to use the feature without needing to manage the technical details behind it.
