FAQs
Can I use this dimmer switch with non-LED bulbs?
This dimmer switch is optimized for dimmable LED loads. Using it with incandescent, halogen, or CFL bulbs may result in poor performance, flickering, or damage to the bulbs or the switch.
What is the maximum number of lights I can connect?
The maximum total wattage is 400W. You can connect multiple dimmable LED lights as long as their combined wattage does not exceed this limit. Consult your light fitting manufacturer for individual wattage.
Does this switch come with a backbox?
No, this switch is designed to fit into a standard single UK electrical backbox, which is typically already installed in the wall. The backbox is not included with the dimmer switch.
How do I clean the white plastic finish?
Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could scratch or discolor the plastic.
Is this a 1-way or 2-way dimmer?
This is a 2-way rotary dimmer switch, meaning it can be used in a circuit where the light can be controlled from two different locations (e.g., top and bottom of stairs).
What are the dimensions of the switch plate?
The switch plate dimensions are 86mm x 86mm, which is the standard size for a single UK faceplate.
Troubleshooting
Dimmer not responding or flickering
Check that the load does not exceed the 400W maximum. Ensure all LED bulbs are compatible with LED dimmers and are within the specified wattage per bulb. Verify wiring connections are secure.
Switch feels stiff or difficult to turn
This can sometimes occur if installed in a tight backbox. Ensure the backbox is of standard depth and installation is not causing undue stress on the switch mechanism. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Lights do not dim smoothly
Confirm that the connected light fittings are specifically designed as dimmable LEDs. Non-dimmable LEDs or incompatible bulb types will not work correctly with a dimmer switch. Check the total wattage is within the 400W limit.
