Product Information

Full details

This Soho Lighting Brushed Chrome Dimmer and Rocker Switch Combo is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to upgrade their lighting control with a versatile and stylish solution. Its key benefit is the dual functionality of a dimmer and a rocker switch on a single plate, saving space and offering enhanced lighting customization. A potential caveat is the need for dimmable bulbs to fully utilize the dimmer's features. This unit integrates a 2-way 150W LED (300W Halogen/Incandescent) intelligent dimmer with soft-start technology and a standard 2-way rocker switch, all housed in a brushed chrome finish with black inserts for a modern aesthetic. It supports both leading and trailing edge dimming modes for broad compatibility.

FAQs

What is the maximum wattage for LED bulbs?

The dimmer supports a maximum of 150W for dimmable LED bulbs.

Can I use this with non-dimmable LED bulbs?

No, this dimmer is only compatible with *dimmable* LED, Halogen, or Incandescent bulbs. Using non-dimmable bulbs will result in flickering, buzzing, or failure to operate correctly.

How do I switch between leading and trailing edge modes?

There is a simple button setup on the unit that allows you to switch between leading edge and trailing edge modes. Refer to the installation manual for precise instructions.

Do I need special bulbs for 2-way switching?

No, standard dimmable bulbs are used. For 2-way switching, you will need to connect this dimmer in conjunction with standard 2-way rocker switches (sold separately) at the other location.

What are the dimensions of the switch plate?

The switch plate measures 86mm x 86mm, fitting standard UK backboxes.

What does 'soft-start' functionality do?

Soft-start gradually increases the light brightness over 1-2 seconds when turned on. This is gentler on bulbs, prolonging their lifespan, and provides a more comfortable lighting experience.

Is professional installation required?

While the unit is designed for standard installation, basic electrical knowledge is recommended. If you are not comfortable with electrical wiring, it is advisable to hire a qualified electrician.

Troubleshooting

Dimmer flickers or buzzes

Ensure you are using dimmable bulbs. Try switching the dimmer mode (leading/trailing edge) or test with a different brand of dimmable bulb. Check bulb wattage does not exceed the maximum limit.

Rocker switch not working

Verify wiring connections for the rocker switch. Ensure it is correctly wired for 2-way functionality if used in that configuration.

Dimmer does not dim

Confirm that the bulb is rated as dimmable and is compatible with the dimmer's mode (leading/trailing edge). Check that the bulb wattage is within the supported range.

Unit does not power on

Check all wiring connections and ensure the circuit breaker is on. If part of a 2-way system, verify the companion switch is also wired correctly.
