With a dimmer you can create atmospheric light or bright light in a home, office or commercial building. With the dimmer, or switch, you control the current or voltage. This changes the light intensity of the lamp. When you are at work, functional and bright light is nicer, while at other times you can opt for mood light. At Toolstation you will always find a dimmer that suits your interior or work environment, because the dimmers are available in a large number of designs and colours.

LED dimmers: switches and sockets

For LED lamps, you use an LED dimmer. Varying the light intensity with a dimmer can be done in different ways, such as via a dimmer switch, a dimmer socket or an LED dimmer built-in system. In any case, make sure that the dimmer lamp is connected to an LED lamp.

Which built-in LED dimmer needed for dimmer lamp

Most dimmable LED lamps are suitable for a trailing edge/RC LED dimmer. However, some lamps only work with phase control (leading edge/RL). On the packaging of the LED lamp you can see which dimmer is suitable for your product. Phase cut means that the lamp can dim to a maximum of 100 percent, that is, until it is completely off. Universal recessed dimmers are suitable for R, L, C or a combination.

A number of dimmers can also be used in combination with incandescent or halogen lamps. Here too, it is best to first check the packaging to check whether the lamp is suitable for dimming. Make sure that you do not connect energy-saving lamps or Tube Light lighting to a dimmer, because these types of lamps work on gas discharge.

Cover plate for dimmer

To give the dimmer a nice finish, various types of cover plates or central plates are available at Toolstation. These are available in different colors and shapes, so that there is always one that fits the interior. Determine in advance whether you want a rotary knob, a pressure system or a combined pressure/rotary button. In any case, the dimmer itself must also have the same system of turn, push or push/turn. The central plates cover the dimmer nicely.
