5. Operating Instructions

The Q-Link Plug-in LED Dimmer features a simple rotary knob for control.

• Turning On/Off: Rotate the knob clockwise until you hear a "click" to turn the lamp on. Continue rotating counter-clockwise until you hear a "click" to turn the lamp off.
• Dimming: Once the lamp is on, rotate the knob clockwise to increase the light intensity and counter-clockwise to decrease it.

The dimmer provides smooth, silent dimming for a comfortable lighting experience.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Disconnect the dimmer from the power outlet before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• Storage: If not in use for an extended period, store the dimmer in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.

7. Troubleshooting

• Lamp does not dim or flickers:
  • Ensure the connected lamp and bulb are explicitly labeled as "dimmable." Many LED and some incandescent/halogen bulbs are not dimmable.
  • Check if the lamp's wattage falls within the dimmer's specified range (3-24W for LED, 30-200W for incandescent/halogen).
  • Try a different dimmable lamp to rule out an issue with the original lamp.
• Dimmer does not turn on/off:
  • Verify that the dimmer is securely plugged into a functioning wall socket.
  • Ensure the lamp is properly plugged into the dimmer.
  • Check if the rotary knob is turned fully to the "on" position (past the click).
• Humming noise from lamp or dimmer:
  • A slight hum can sometimes occur with certain dimmable LED lamps, especially at lower dimming levels. This is often due to compatibility between the lamp and dimmer. If the hum is excessive, try a different brand or type of dimmable LED lamp.
