This is the Forbes and Lomax ABELL/BMA, a single gang architrave momentary switch antique bronze plate, Forbes and Lomax architrave button dimmer controller.

With this item you will also need to order the Forbes and Lomax 1715 Architrave Back-Box - see the required items.

All momentary switches (contact-closure switches) require an in-line dimming pack to enable them to work as a dimmer, or a relay pack to have an ON/OFF function. The button dimmer controller allows dimming from more than one location, and it can be used to control home automation systems.

Please note: The button dimmer / momentary switch will only work in conjunction with an inline dimmer (see the required items). The way it works is: one in-line dimmer (impulse dimmer) per button dimmer. For 50-1000W 4A dimming you can order the ID0401 and for LED dimming you can use ID0101LE.
