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.

Nice & Large Usb Plug Socket

Very impressed with this item. Only down side is that the USB Socket has black on/off switches whereas the normal sockets have brass ones but other than that it?s perfect.

Bigger But Better
23 May 2020 by Manny Sahota, Bradford - Verified Customer
I picked these to replace my existing tatty white plastic plug sockets and i wanted something a bit bigger to tidy up the rough edges left behind when i took the old ones off. these fit as a straight swap so i didnt need to change or mess with the boxes in the wall and being that bit bigger the hole spacings were exactly the same. Amazing how much better things look when you decorate and change the electrics.
Just The Right Size
01 May 2019 by Nigel Bird Builders, Birmingham - Verified Customer
The 95mm size plates really saved my job. Decorator had decorated around the old switches then the normal sized 86mm switches I got from my wholesaler ended up showing the un-papered wall. These were just the right size and I completed the job without having to redecorate the entire house! Life saver - brilliant product.
Chunky Switches

I looked everywhere for larger switches and was thrilled to find these.
Good Idea
11 March 2019 by Christine Hoo, Hull - Verified Customer
These were big enough to hide some decorating damage caused when removing my normal white plastic sockets. Good quality and look really good.
Big Socket

Big Socket that replaced my normal sized ones and tidied up the wall around where I removed the old one. A great solution.
Large Switches The Perfect Solution
11 January 2019 by Andrew Tate, Shropshire - Verified Customer
I Removed My Old Switches and The Wallpaper Had Been Cut Out Around Them So When I Replaced With Normal White Switches You Could See The Mess Left Behind. These Larger Switches Fitted A Treat and Completely Covered Up The Edges of The Wallpaper and Look great.
