Light control

A dimmer turns one light fitting into several. The same piece can give bright working light in the morning and a candle-like glow in the evening. That is why light control is an integral part of the lighting plan, in every room.

With a single touch, today's control systems give you:

  • lower energy use and longer life for the light sources;
  • the right intensity for each activity;
  • a different mood for the room, at any hour;
  • saved light scenes, ready for different occasions.

Types of Light control

  1. The integrated dimming system — creates several preset light scenes in the same room; scenes are selected at the touch of a button, from the control panel or the remote.
  2. The touch dimmer — varies the intensity at the touch of a button and returns, with a single press, to the previous light level.
  3. The slide dimmer — manual adjustment; some models have a button to return to the previous level and a small locator light for the dark.
  4. The smart dimmer (DALI) — digital, communicates wirelessly or by wire and is controlled from your phone.
  5. The DMX dimmer — digital, adjusts both the intensity and the colour of LED sources.

Dimmers are chosen by the number of light fittings in the room and the power of the sources — tell us the room's plan and we'll recommend the right option.
