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.

Look Invisible

They look invisible on the walls, so much better than having obvious sockets. The USB function works well too
Fiddley To Fit But End Result Is Very Good
19 June 2020 by Fiona Black, London - Verified Customer
Electrician moaned a lot about cutting out my wallpaper template but in the end he did and it looks very good. Also fitted some of them on plain painted walls so these were much easier as you simply paint the template provided. All round very pleased.
Pleased.

Very pleased with my clear sockets in bronze. Found these hard to get as others seem to have stopped selling them.
Invisible Switches

I found the help guide on your website really informative and helped me make the decision to buy these. Electrician fitted them (wasnt that happy that he had to cut a template - Im an electrician not a decorator!) but he did it easily enough and the result is fabulous.

Wow these clear switches give a great effect. Almost invisible and the bronze switches I had are fantastic quality. My electrician says they were the best he has ever fitted. I will be reurning for some sockets in the same style once I can afford it!
