Full details

FAQs

What is the maximum wattage this dimmer can handle for LED lights?

This dimmer switch can handle a maximum load of 150W for LED lights per module.

Do I need a special back box for this dimmer?

Yes, this dimmer switch requires a standard 25mm depth single gang back box for installation.

How does the 'Intelligent Auto-Detect' feature work?

The auto-detect feature automatically senses the type of LED driver (leading edge or trailing edge) and configures the dimmer for optimal performance without manual intervention.

Can I use this dimmer with non-dimmable LED bulbs?

No, this dimmer is designed for use with dimmable LED bulbs only. Using non-dimmable bulbs can cause flickering, buzzing, or damage to the bulbs and the dimmer.

What is the difference between leading edge and trailing edge dimming?

Leading edge dimmers are generally older technology and work well with incandescent and halogen loads. Trailing edge dimmers are more modern and typically provide smoother dimming for LEDs and are often quieter. This switch intelligently selects the correct mode.

Can this dimmer be used for 2-way switching?

This product is a single-gang dimmer and is designed for single-point control. It is not designed for 2-way switching configurations.

How do I clean the dimmer switch?

Wipe the dimmer switch with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals as they can damage the finish.

Troubleshooting

Dimmer switch does not turn on.

Check that the power supply to the circuit is on. Verify all wiring connections are secure and correct according to the manual. Ensure the load does not exceed the maximum rating.

LED lights flicker when dimmed.

Ensure the LED bulbs are specifically marked as 'dimmable'. Try selecting the appropriate dimming mode (leading/trailing edge) if the auto-detect is not functioning optimally for your specific LEDs. Check if the total wattage of the LEDs is within the 150W limit.

Dimmer is unresponsive to rotary control.

Turn the power off and on again at the fuse box. If the issue persists, re-check all wiring connections. Contact customer support if the problem continues.

Switch feels warm during operation.

Slight warmth is normal under load. However, if the switch feels excessively hot, turn off the power immediately and check the total wattage of the connected lights. Ensure the connected load is within the 150W limit for LEDs.
