This is the Forbes & Lomax 4 Gang 0–120W LED Rotary Dimmer Matte Brass – Trailing Edge Flat Plate available at SparksDirect.co.uk for the best price. The Forbes & Lomax X4GTE250/MBS is a premium 4 gang rotary LED dimmer in Matte Brass, combining four independent rotary dimmer controls on a single decorative plate. Each dimmer can control up to 120W of compatible dimmable LED lighting, allowing four separate lighting circuits to be switched and dimmed independently from one convenient location. Each rotary control is pushed to switch the lighting on or off and rotated to adjust the brightness.
The dimmers use trailing-edge technology for smooth control of compatible LED lighting. Each gang can accommodate up to 10 compatible LED lamps, subject to the maximum 120W load per gang. This makes the four-gang configuration particularly useful in larger rooms or installations where several lighting circuits need to be controlled from one position.
Finished in Matte Brass, this 4-gang dimmer forms part of the Forbes & Lomax Matte Brass range of premium electrical accessories. The finish has muted golden tones and a durable baked lacquer coating that helps resist fingerprints and makes the surface easy to maintain. Matching Matte Brass switches, sockets and other accessories can be used throughout the installation for a coordinated look.

About the Forbes & Lomax Matte Brass Range
The Forbes & Lomax Matte Brass range brings warm, muted golden tones to premium decorative electrical accessories. The finish is designed to add warmth and sophistication while remaining subtle enough for both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Matte Brass features a durable baked lacquer coating that helps resist fingerprints and makes the surface easy to maintain. Unlike an unlacquered brass finish, it is designed to retain its appearance rather than naturally developing a patina over time.
The range includes dolly switches, rotary dimmers, button dimmers, rocker switches and a wide selection of socket outlets, allowing different electrical accessories to be matched throughout a room or property. Matte Brass sockets are supplied with black inserts to complement the finish.
