Operating Instructions
The unique feature of the Switchmo LED spotlight is its 4-stage dimming capability, controlled directly by your standard 230V light switch. No special dimmer switch is required.
Dimming Function:
To cycle through the brightness levels, simply turn your light switch OFF and then ON again within a short period (typically 1-2 seconds). Each quick OFF/ON cycle will change the brightness level as follows:
- • First ON: 100% Brightness
- • Second ON (after quick OFF/ON): 60% Brightness
- • Third ON (after quick OFF/ON): 40% Brightness
- • Fourth ON (after quick OFF/ON): 10% Brightness
After a longer period of being switched OFF, the spotlight will reset and turn ON at 100% brightness when activated again.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Leuchten Direkt Switchmo LED spotlight, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn ON. | No power supply, loose connection, faulty switch. | Check if the main power supply is ON. Verify all wiring connections are secure. Test the light switch. |
| Light flickers or dims erratically. | Unstable power supply, loose connection, incompatible switch (unlikely with Switchmo but possible with very old switches). | Ensure stable power. Check wiring connections. If problem persists, consult a qualified electrician. |
| Dimming function does not work. | Switching too slowly, internal fault. | Ensure you are performing quick OFF/ON cycles (within 1-2 seconds) to activate the dimming stages. If the issue persists, the unit may be faulty. |
| Light is too dim or too bright. | Incorrect dimming stage selected. | Cycle through the dimming stages using the light switch until the desired brightness is achieved. Remember it resets to 100% after a long OFF period. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact a qualified electrician or the product retailer for further assistance. Do not attempt to repair the product yourself.
