Product Information

Full details

This Brass Bee B Series Double Dimmer is designed for homeowners and interior designers seeking to add contemporary elegance to their spaces. Its key benefit is providing stylish, functional dimming control with a refined satin brass finish. A potential caveat is that the satin finish may show fingerprints more readily than a polished finish. This collection offers high-quality, durable fittings with a subtle yet striking sheen, perfect for modern and classic interiors, featuring a tactile, straight knurled texture on dimmer switches for enhanced grip and aesthetic.

Troubleshooting

Dimmer not functioning

Ensure power is on at the breaker. Verify bulb compatibility (must be dimmable). Check wiring connections are secure and correct.
