  • Dim/Brighten: Use the small slide control next to the rocker switch to adjust the light level. Slide up to brighten, slide down to dim.
  • Constant Memory: The dimmer remembers the last set light level and will return to that level when turned back on.

4.2 Adjusting Dimming Range (Calibration)

The dimmer allows you to set custom high and low dimming limits to optimize performance with your specific LED bulbs and eliminate flickering at low levels.

  1. Access Calibration: Locate the small calibration button on the side of the dimmer (often labeled "CAL").
  2. Adjust Low End: With the lights on and dimmed to their lowest desired level, press and hold the calibration button until the lights flicker or indicate calibration mode (refer to full manual for specific indicator). Adjust the low end using the dimmer slide until stable, flicker-free dimming is achieved.
  3. Adjust High End: Similarly, adjust the high end if your lights are too bright or not reaching full brightness.
  4. Save Settings: Release the calibration button to save the settings.

This process helps to eliminate flickering and optimize the dimming range for your specific lighting setup.

4.3 LED Burst Mode

The optional LED Burst Mode can be activated to help eliminate or reduce turn-on delays and "pop-ons" sometimes experienced with certain LED bulbs.
