This Lieber Silk White Plastic Dimmer and Rocker Combo Switch has a 150W intelligent dimmer switch...This Lieber Silk White Plastic Dimmer and Rocker Combo Switch has a 150W intelligent dimmer switch and a two-way rocker switch on the same plate. It allows you to dim one light with the dimmer and switch another on and off using the rocker switch. This plate comes complete with an Enkin PDM150 Intelligent Dimmer module, known for its quality, silent and flicker-free operation, and soft-start technology that prolongs the life of LED bulbs. It features an easy push-button setup for seamless installation, and includes short circuit and overload protection with a self-recovering thermal fuse for safety and reliability. The PDM150 intelligent 150W LED dimmer works with dimmable LED bulbs (max load 150W) and dimmable Halogen/Incandescent bulbs (max load 300W). The dimmer can be easily switched between trailing edge and leading edge modes using the simple button setup. For multi-location switching with a 2-way intelligent dimmer, standard switches are required.
This Lieber Dimmer and Rocker Switch Combo in White is ideal for homeowners looking to gain flexible lighting control in a single, sleek unit. Its key benefit is the ability to independently control two different lights from one wall plate: dimming one and switching another. A potential caveat is ensuring compatibility with dimmable LED bulbs for optimal performance. This product combines a 150W intelligent dimmer with a two-way rocker switch, offering both variable light control and simple on/off functionality for separate fixtures.

FAQs
What is the maximum wattage for the dimmer function?
The dimmer supports a maximum load of 150W for dimmable LED bulbs and 300W for dimmable Halogen/Incandescent bulbs.
Can I use this dimmer with non-dimmable LED bulbs?
No, this dimmer is designed specifically for 'dimmable' LED bulbs. Using non-dimmable bulbs may result in flickering, poor performance, or damage to the dimmer and bulb.
How do I change the dimming mode?
The dimming mode (leading or trailing edge) can be changed using a simple push-button setup on the module. Refer to the installation guide for specific instructions.
Can I control the same light with two of these combo switches?
You can control the dimmer function from multiple locations by using standard two-way switches wired to the dimmer module. The rocker switch also supports standard two-way switching configurations.
What does 'soft-start' technology do?
Soft-start technology gradually increases the light output when turned on, reducing stress on the bulb filament or LED components. This helps to prolong the lifespan of your bulbs, especially LEDs.
Is installation difficult?
Installation involves standard electrical wiring. If you are not comfortable with electrical work, it is recommended to hire a qualified electrician.
What is the colour of the switch plate?
The switch plate is a classic white, designed to blend seamlessly with most interior decors.
Troubleshooting
Dimmer does not work or flickers.
Ensure the connected bulbs are marked as 'dimmable'. Try switching the dimming mode (leading/trailing edge) using the push-button setup. Check that the total load does not exceed the 150W LED or 300W Halogen/Incandescent limit.
Rocker switch does not turn light on/off.
Verify the wiring connections for the rocker switch. Ensure the light fixture is functional and the bulb is not burnt out. If used in a multi-location setup, check the wiring of the companion switch.
The switch feels warm during operation.
A slight warmth is normal, especially when dimming high-wattage loads. However, if it becomes excessively hot, immediately turn off the power and check the load against the maximum rating. Ensure proper ventilation around the switch.
Device does not turn on at all.
Confirm that power is restored to the circuit at the breaker. Double-check all wiring connections to the switch and ensure they are secure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Safety First: Ensure the power supply to the circuit is turned off at the breaker box before installation.
Wiring: Follow standard electrical wiring practices. Connect the dimmer and rocker switch components according to the provided diagram, paying attention to line, load, and traveler wires if applicable.
Mode Selection: Access the push-button setup to select the appropriate dimming mode (leading or trailing edge) based on your connected bulbs. Consult your bulb manufacturer's specifications if unsure.
Mounting: Secure the plate to the wall box.
Power On: Restore power at the breaker and test both the dimmer and rocker functions.
Compatibility:
Dimmer Load: Up to 150W for dimmable LED bulbs; up to 300W for dimmable Halogen/Incandescent bulbs.
Rocker Switch: Functions as a standard two-way switch; suitable for controlling any standard light fixture or fan (ensure wattage compatibility).
Multi-Location Dimming: For dimming control from multiple locations, the dimmer module requires pairing with standard two-way switches. The rocker function also supports standard two-way switching setups.
Care:
Clean the surface with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the plastic finish.
