Selecting the Right Lamps
This dimmer switch is compatible with standard dimmable lamps (not smart lamps). The lighting load must be a minimum of 10W. For multiple lamps, use the same make and model.
Lamp Type | Trailing (RC) Load | Leading (RL) Load |
---|---|---|
Incandescent | 5-150W | 10-100W |
Halogen (Eco + Std) | 5-150W | 10-100W |
Dimmable LED | 10-150W | 10-100W |
Additional Features
Minimum Dimming Level
Set a minimum dimming level (1% to 50%) in the app to eliminate "dead travel" on the knob or slider.
Leading/Trailing Edge Mode
Switch between Trailing (default) and Leading edge dimming via the app. Trailing edge is generally best for LEDs. Incompatible lighting may cause flickering.
Restore State After Power Outage
Configure the dimmer to restore to the previous lighting level or a user-defined level after a power cut.
Note: Initial power-on may cause brief flickering (10-60 seconds) with certain lamps; this is normal.
