Notes
What is a Intelligent Dimmer?
Our intelligent Dimmer range takes some of the mystery out of choosing the correct dimmer. These leading edge intelligent dimmers will adapt to the type of load put through them. This means that they will operate standard incandescent lamps as well as mains halogen lamps and low voltage halogen lamps. If you require LED lamps to be dimmed please refer to our LED Dimmer section. Leading edge dimmers are compatible with resistive or inductive loads and are able to reduce the load by shortening the A/C cycle at the leading edge of the input waveform, hence the term ‘Leading Edge’. Leading edge dimmers are the most commonly used to dim incandescent and mains voltage halogen light bulbs and capsules. All dimmers are rated by wattage and leading edge dimmers are no exception. They are commonly available in 250w, 400w, 600w and 1000w modules. It is important to note that they also have a minimum load requirement of 25w, 40w, 100w and 150w respectively. These wattages must always be adhered to and in the case of halogen lamps and capsules must be over-rated by at least 25%. GU10, G9 and GZ10 halogen lamps and capsules tend to arc in the latter part of their life. This is not dangerous in any way and is a characteristic of halogen lamps. This arcing creates an additional load on the dimmer and can overload the module resulting in excess heat and premature failure. The first indication of this happening is an increase in noise, often heard as a buzz from the dimmer switch. It is important to note that all quality branded halogen capsules incorporate a fused link to protect the circuit in case of a short within the lamp. Non-branded cheap generic halogen lamps do not have this function and should be avoided. Never use a dimmer module that is not rated higher than the total load applied to it. We recommend 25mm deep wall boxes for mounting our intelligent dimmer switches or 35mm deep wall boxes for shallow or flat plate ranges.

Hammered Black
03 April 2021 by Ernest, Bucks - Verified Customer
We looked at several blacks before deciding on the hammered black as it does not stand out as much as plain black and fits in more with the aged timbers in the house. Very pleased on how they look now all installed by the electrician. The other reason for going with hammered black is the helpfulness of the company meaning we could get all the switches and sockets we wanted.

Just What I Wanted

Good But Took 2 Weeks
22 May 2020 by Vincent Palmer, Portishead - Verified Customer
Took 2 weeks to arrive but was happy with the products when they arrived. Gave the effect I was after with a very subtle hammered Or More stippled finish. Flat style needs 35mm boxes but definitely would encourage others to buy if you?ve got the right house for it. Fitted nicely into my old barn conversion.

Rustic Pewter & Slate
30 October 2019 by Christina Alverez, Battersea - Verified Customer
I bought the Rustic Pewter ranges as well as some of the Slate range. Rustic Pewter is very well finished and Ive seen anything like this before - very impressive. Slate - These are NOT Slate but they look so much like real slate you can hardly tell the difference which is again very impressive. Great service and advice was also given over the phone.
