Replace the plate – a ‘click’ sound 

should be heard to signify that the plate 
has been correctly replaced.

Important things to Consider

• Wattage ratings for the Dimmers are 

per gang

. The maximum circuit load for 

each 2-Way Dimmer Gang is equal to 
the maximum load on the standard 
LightwaveRF Dimmer it is connected to 
(i.e. 250W or 210W). 

• 

ONLY

 Dimmable lamps can be used even if the Dimmers are used solely to 

switch between the on and off states without dimming. This is because the 
technology used in an electronic dimmer is fundamentally different to that 
of a simple on/off switch and requires compatible lamp technology.

NOTE: 

Compatibility between electronic Dimmers and LEDs can be affected 

if the total circuit loading is very small. Total LED load decreases (relatively) 
as it is shared between a greater number of connected Dimmers; therefore, 
as more 2-Way Dimmers (up to 6) are added to a single circuit, it is possible 
that LED performance may become less stable.
