FAQs
What is 'soft-start' technology?
Soft-start technology gradually increases the light output over 1-2 seconds when you turn the lights on. This is gentler on the light bulbs, potentially extending their lifespan, and provides a smoother transition.
Can I use any LED bulb with this dimmer?
No, you must use dimmable LED bulbs. Non-dimmable LED bulbs are not compatible and may not work or could damage the dimmer.
How do I know if I need leading edge or trailing edge mode?
Most modern dimmable LEDs work best on trailing edge, while older halogen/incandescent bulbs often use leading edge. The dimmer has a simple button setup to switch between these modes. If you experience flickering or poor performance, try changing the mode.
What is the maximum wattage for LED bulbs?
The maximum load for dimmable LED bulbs is 150W.
What is the maximum wattage for Halogen/Incandescent bulbs?
The maximum load for dimmable Halogen or Incandescent bulbs is 300W.
Is this dimmer suitable for a 2-way switching setup?
Yes, this dimmer is designed for 2-way switching, allowing you to control the lights from two different locations (e.g., at the top and bottom of stairs).
How do I clean the bronze and brass finish?
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the hand-finished appearance.
Troubleshooting
Dimmer not turning on
Check that the power supply is on at the mains and that the wiring connections are secure. Verify the fuse hasn't tripped.
Lights flicker or buzz
Ensure you are using dimmable bulbs. Try switching the edge mode (leading/trailing) using the setup button. Check that the bulb wattage is within the specified limits (150W LED / 300W Halogen/Incandescent).
Dimmer feels warm
Slight warmth during use is normal, especially under maximum load. If the dimmer becomes excessively hot, turn off the power immediately and check for loose connections or an overload condition.
Dimmer not responding to touch/button
Verify power supply. Ensure no obstructions are preventing operation. If the issue persists, reset the dimmer by turning off power for 30 seconds and turning it back on.
