FAQs

What is a dummy dimmer module?

A dummy dimmer module is a light switch that looks like a dimmer control but only functions as a simple on/off switch. It's used to maintain a consistent aesthetic appearance across multiple light switches when full dimming functionality is not required for all of them.

Does this module actually dim lights?

No, this is a dummy module, meaning it does not have any dimming capabilities. It provides a basic on and off function only.

What system is this module part of?

This module is part of the Soho Lighting CM Grid system, designed for a specific type of modular faceplate and backbox.

What style of home is this best suited for?

Its polished chrome finish and design complement period styles such as Art Deco, Arts and Crafts, and other homes with a focus on classic or distinguished aesthetics.

How do I clean the polished chrome finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching the finish.

Can I install this in any light switch box?

No, this module is specifically designed for the Soho Lighting CM Grid system and requires compatible CM Grid backboxes and faceplates.

What is the wattage rating?

This is a dummy module and does not have a wattage rating as it does not control power flow in the same way a functional dimmer or switch does.

Troubleshooting

Module does not switch light on/off

Ensure power is restored to the circuit. Verify that the module is correctly wired to the lighting circuit according to the CM Grid installation instructions. Check that the connected light fixture is functional.

Loose fitting in faceplate

Ensure the CM Grid faceplate is securely fastened to the backbox. Check that the dummy dimmer module is properly seated within the faceplate aperture.

Finish appears tarnished or scratched

Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. For scratches, professional polishing or replacement of the module may be required.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This module is designed to be installed into a Soho Lighting CM Grid faceplate. Ensure the power to the circuit is switched off at the mains before attempting any electrical installation. The module typically connects to the lighting circuit via simple screw terminals. Refer to the specific CM Grid system installation guide for detailed wiring instructions.

Compatibility: This dummy dimmer module is compatible with the Soho Lighting CM Grid system. It requires a standard CM Grid mounting box and faceplate. It is not compatible with standard UK backboxes or other grid systems.

Care: To maintain the polished chrome finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface. For tougher marks, a mild detergent diluted in water can be used, followed by drying with a clean, soft cloth.
