Product Information

Full details

This Soho Lighting 2 Gang Dimming Toggle Switch in Antique Brass is designed for homeowners seeking to blend traditional aesthetics with modern lighting control. Its key benefit is the ability to independently dim two lighting zones while maintaining a classic toggle switch appearance. A potential caveat is that while it features dimming technology, it is specifically designed for LED loads and requires careful consideration for compatibility with existing non-LED fixtures.

FAQs

Can I use this switch with non-LED bulbs?

This switch is optimized for dimmable LED loads. Using it with incandescent, halogen, or fluorescent bulbs may result in poor performance, flickering, or damage. Always check bulb compatibility.

What is the maximum wattage per circuit?

Each circuit controlled by an Enkin IDM250 module can handle up to 250W of LED lighting.

How do I clean the antique brass finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.

Is this switch suitable for multi-location dimming?

Yes, the IDM250 module supports multi-point dimming. You only need one IDM250 module per circuit, which can be paired with additional compatible rockers or toggles.

What does 'soft-start' mean?

Soft-start is a feature where the lights gradually brighten over 1-2 seconds when switched on, which helps prolong the life of your bulbs.

What is the warranty on the Enkin modules?

The Enkin modules come with a five-year guarantee.

Does the screwless faceplate require special installation?

The screwless design provides a clean look, but standard wiring practices apply. Ensure secure connections behind the plate.

Troubleshooting

Light flickers or strobes

Ensure all connected LED bulbs are dimmable and compatible with the IDM250 module. Check for loose wiring connections.

Dimmer does not respond

Verify that the circuit breaker is on and that power is supplied to the switch. Check all wiring connections for security.

One or both gangs do not dim correctly

Confirm the total wattage of the connected lights does not exceed the 250W limit per circuit. Ensure correct wiring for each gang.

Switch feels warm during operation

Some warmth is normal, especially under full load. If the switch becomes excessively hot, immediately turn off power and check for overloaded circuits or wiring faults. Contact an electrician.
