FAQs

What type of bulbs can I use with this dimmer?

This dimmer is designed for Trailing Edge dimmable LED bulbs. It is crucial to ensure your LED bulbs are specifically marked as compatible with Trailing Edge dimmers.

What is the minimum and maximum wattage this dimmer can handle?

The dimmer has a minimum load of 5 watts and a maximum load of 100 watts.

Can I use this dimmer with standard incandescent bulbs?

No, this dimmer is specifically designed for LED loads and is not compatible with standard incandescent or halogen bulbs unless they are specifically rated for trailing edge dimming.

Is this dimmer suitable for a 1-way or 2-way switching setup?

This is a 2-way dimmer, meaning it can be wired to work in conjunction with another switch to control the same light from two locations.

How do I clean the brushed chrome finish?

Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the finish.

What does 'Trailing Edge' dimming mean?

Trailing Edge dimming is an advanced technology that cuts off the 'tail' of the AC voltage waveform. It's generally more efficient and provides smoother dimming for modern electronic loads like LEDs, compared to older 'leading edge' technology.

Troubleshooting

Dimmer switch is not working.

Ensure the circuit breaker is on and check all wiring connections. Verify that the load is within the 5W-100W range and that the bulbs are compatible Trailing Edge dimmable LEDs.

Lights flicker or buzz when dimmed.

This usually indicates incompatible bulbs or a load outside the optimal range. Confirm your LED bulbs are Trailing Edge compatible and ensure the total load is within the 5W minimum and 100W maximum.

Dimmer feels warm during operation.

Some warmth is normal, especially when operating near the maximum load. If the dimmer becomes excessively hot, turn off the power immediately and check for loose connections or an overloaded circuit. Consult a qualified electrician.
