TRANSFORMERS:
- Use only with electronic transformers.
- To Calculate the Load, add the VA ratings of the transformer
(not the bulb wattage)
- Choose transformers with a maximum rating close to the lamp load
e.g. 50VA,, 60VA or 70VA to control a 50 W low voltage bulb
- Wire Wound and Toroidal transformers are not compatible with the HomeEasy
Light switch's (see compatibility), if connect the dimmer will immediately turn
off. If this occurs more than times the dimmer will block any further use, to
unblock the dimmer it will need to be disconnect from the mains supply then
reconnect (see installation guide).

Over Load Protection:
The HomeEasy dimmer switch is design to self protect against over loading
and over heating, this can occur when bulbs age. The dimmer module will
automatically dim the light or turn the lights off completely until the excess
load is removed, to reset the dimmer from the protection mode switch the
lights off then on.

allow for 2-way operation, these additional units can only be operated
manually. Contact Byrons for your local distributor.
