This is a Forbes and Lomax 1 Gang 200W Halogen Rotary Dimmer / 0-120W Trailing Edge LED Dimmer and Push On/Off Switch Invisible Plate with Brass Knob. This is an LED compatible dimmer, which means that it can work with up to 10 LED lamps, up to 120W in total per gang. 

Please note: by default, the insert is unlacquered brass; it is shiny/polished brass, which after time becomes aged brass (there is a patina), which can be polished to become shiny again. The insert is unlacquered, designed to mellow with age if left unpolished to match older brass fittings in the home.

  • Single gang LED dimmer with push ON / push OFF switch.
  • 1 gang rotary dimmer for wall mounting. 
  • This dimmer is suitable for 0W - 120W of dimmable LED lighting (max 10 lamps) or up to 200W of good quality mains voltage incandescent and halogen bulbs - per gang, as well as good quality electronic low voltage transformers. 
  • Part of the Forbes & Lomax Trailing Edge Rotary Dimmers, LED Dimmers, and Push On/Off switches. 
  • This is suitable for incandescent/low voltage loads, compact low energy dimmable fluorescent loads, and some mains LED applications.
  • The Forbes and Lomax trailing edge dimmers are soft start, giving a gradual increase or decrease in the intensity of the light when they are switched ON or OFF and therefore extending the lamp life. 
  • Superior trailing edge technology reduces noise and flicker.
  • Suitable for good quality mains voltage incandescent and halogen bulbs, as well as good quality electronic low voltage transformers and dimmable low energy lighting (CFL or LED). 
  • Intelligent, self-resetting protection is included to protect the dimmer from overload. 
  • Ideal for dimming most mains voltage dimmable LED light bulbs and LED lights. 
  • Not suitable for use with wirewound transformers. 
  • Matching push on/off switches allow us to provide switches that look like a dimmer and offer the ability to mix dimmers and switches on the same plate while keeping a uniform look.

LED Dimmers are now Available in All your Favorite Plates and Finishes!

The constant development of the LED lighting technology pushes the dimming industry forward; it is now becoming increasingly common to get not just a LED lamp but a dimmable LED lamp. Whether it is a LED integrated with the fitting or a GU10 LED light bulb, it is becoming more and more obvious that people want to dim their lights, and thus save energy. We can all agree that, once we switched from halogen lamps to LED lamps, the electricity cost has been slashed; how much more will it be even when we use a LED dimmer! Both for creating the right ambiance and for energy saving purposes, LED dimming is becoming quite necessary. It is no wonder therefore that most switches and sockets manufacturers have updated their range to include LED dimmers in their offer, and more and more people opt for a LED dimmer rather than a regular dimmer. LED Dimmers are now Available in all your Favorite Plates and Finishes! When it comes to the style of the dimmer / socket / switch, the customer has specific preferences, especially when he sees the suggestions made by the architect or the interior designer. This is why there are such plates as transparent plates (invisible plate / clear perspex plate), flat white plastic plates, flat metal plates, raised metal plates, and stepped plates, many of which come in different variations. Besides the type of plate, there are many finishes that the switch, socket, or dimmer can come in, such as brass (satin, polished, antique, etc), bronze (polished, matt, antique, etc), chrome (satin, brushed, polished, etc), Verdigris, painted, matt (black or white), and many others. And since the customer already has switches and sockets installed in a particular finish, there's the need for the LED dimmer to be in the same finish as well. Forget about the LED driver that used to be necessary - now the dimmable LED lamps simply need a good quality LED dimmer, and they work very well! There are at least two ways of replacing the existing wall-mounted dimmer with a LED dimmer: Purchase a new LED dimmer, in the plate and finish you require Replace the existing dimmer modules at the back with LED dimmer modules. In both cases, a registered electrician has to be the one who replaces or installs the LED dimmer. The good news, however, is that LED dimmers are now available in all your favorite plates and finishes! You can have LED dimmers in flat plate white plastic, square edge white plastic, invisible plate, screwless flat plate metal, flat plate (chrome, bronze, brass, black, white, and other finishes), raised plate (polished or satin chrome, brass, bronze, white, etc), stepped plate (with dual finish or single finish in Satin/Polished chrome or brass), and many others. Let us give you some examples of LED dimmers: 1 gang LED dimmer in brushed steel raised plate from BG Electrical 1 Gang trailing edge rotary LED dimmer in an invisible plate with an antique brass knob from Forbes and Lomax 2 gang LED dimmer in a screwless transparent plastic plate from Hamilton Litestat 2 gang LED dimmer in a polished brass Elite stepped plate from Heritage brass 3 gang LED dimmer in a screwless matt black flat plate from Heritage Brass 3 Gang LED dimmer on a flat plate in brushed chrome from BG Nexus 3 Gang LED Dimmer - Trailing Edge Rotary LED Dimmer Invisible Plate with Brass Knob from Forbes and Lomax 4 Gang LED dimmer on a primed white screwless flat plate from Heritage Brass 4 Gang LED dimmer in a screwless polished brass flat plate, Studio range, from M-Marcus The above list is a small selection from the wide range of LED dimmers available on our website.
