3 Gang 0-120W Trailing Edge Rotary Trailing Edge LED Dimmer Matte Brass Flat Plate from Forbes and Lomax

This is the Forbes & Lomax 3 Gang 0–120W LED Rotary Dimmer Matte Brass – Trailing Edge Flat Plate available at SparksDirect.co.uk for the best price. The Forbes & Lomax 3GTE250/MBS is a premium 3 gang rotary LED dimmer in Matte Brass, combining three independent rotary dimmer controls on a single decorative flat plate. Each dimmer can control up to 120W of compatible dimmable LED lighting, allowing three separate lighting circuits to be controlled independently from one wall plate. The rotary controls are pushed to switch the lighting on or off and rotated to adjust brightness.

Using trailing-edge dimming technology, the dimmer provides smooth control of compatible LED lighting, while the rotary design gives a simple, tactile method of adjusting light levels. Each gang can accommodate up to 10 compatible LED lamps, subject to the maximum 120W load per gang.

The Matte Brass finish gives the plate a warm, understated appearance and forms part of the Forbes & Lomax Matte Brass collection. The finish features a durable baked lacquer coating designed to resist fingerprints and make the accessories easy to maintain. The 3-gang format is particularly useful where several lighting circuits need to be controlled from one location while maintaining a coordinated, premium appearance.
