What we found interesting…

This month we wanted to share the history of fader and lighting desks:

The history of Lighting Desks - Black and white image - Saturable Choke dimmer

The Origins of the Fader Desk

Many people use Lighting Desks on a daily basis but have you ever wondered how we came to know and love these brilliant pieces of kit? If so, read on… Let’s start at the beginning.

The invention of thyristor electronic dimming enabled the brightness of incandescent lamps to be reduced. This forged a path for the early fader desks. Their origins were simple ones – only having two or more rows of channel faders (pre-sets) controlled via master faders. This allowed cross-fading between two different lighting states.

These types of desks were commonplace in schools, with desks like the Strand Mini 2, Eltec, Furse and many others being a widely recognised fixture. It was rare that more than 24 channels were used with six-channel dimmer packs.

One throwback that was still in use when thyristor dimming was introduced was the Strand LC, which used Saturable Choke Dimmers.
