FAQs

Can I use this with LED bulbs?

This model is specifically designed for incandescent and halogen lighting; it is not recommended for LED bulbs.

What is the minimum load requirement?

The dimmer requires a minimum load of 60W to function correctly.

Does this support 2-way switching?

Yes, this unit is a 2-way dimmer, meaning it can be used to control the same light from two different switch locations.

How do I remove the faceplate?

The screwless faceplate can be carefully pried off from the sides using a flat-head screwdriver to access the mounting screws.

What is the maximum wattage load?

The maximum capacity for this dimmer is 400W.

Troubleshooting

Lights are flickering at low brightness

Ensure the total wattage of the bulbs connected is above the 60W minimum threshold.

Dimmer does not turn off completely

Check that the total wattage does not exceed 400W, as overloading can prevent proper power cutoff.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sleek screwless aesthetic blends perfectly with modern interiors
  • Easy to install in standard wall boxes
  • Reliable 2-way switching capability
  • Robust construction for long-term durability

Cons

  • Not intended for low-wattage LED loads
  • Requires minimum 60W load to function correctly
  • Limited to incandescent and halogen technologies

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local wiring regulations. Ensure the circuit is isolated at the consumer unit before beginning. This unit is compatible with standard 25mm to 35mm deep back boxes. For care, simply wipe the faceplate with a soft, dry cloth; avoid using abrasive chemicals or cleaners which could damage the finish. Because this is a 60-400W dimmer, ensure your total lighting load falls within this range to prevent flickering or damage to the dimmer's internal components.
