These dimmers can be used to dim lights from several locations. They are suitable for dimming mains and/or dimmable transformer low voltage lamps.

Functions and Special features

Slim buttons give an easy press action. Pressing the button dims or brightens the light to any level. A quick press switches off. Another press returns the lamp to its previous brightness.

All versions are suitable for dimming most mains dimmable LED lamps and fittings and mains halogen lamps.

Quiet operation.

The soft start feature prolongs the lamp life.

Some LED lamps may require a small resistive load (order code RESLOADE, see page 86) to enable smooth dimming.

Multi-way switching and dimming can be achieved from any position only by using the complementary DANLERS slave switches.

These grid dimmer modules fit any position on the appropriate grid or plate system.

* Due to the characteristics and ever changing design of different lamp manufacturers LED drivers DANLERS cannot specify a universal accurate maximum / minimum load. However, use of DANLERS RESLOADE (see page 86) can help to eliminate lamp instability in many LED lamps and fittings. For loading of Grid dimmers on multi-gang plates the following limits also apply:

2 gang plates: Maximum for total plate – 630W

3 or 4 gang plates: Maximum for total plate – 1000W

6, 8, 9 or 12 gang plates: Maximum per row – 1000W

2-wire and intermediate wiring can be used with DANLERS Quiet grid dimmers (see page 63) however all 2-way and intermediate switches must be changed to DANLERS Slave switches SSGS_ _ or SS_SL.

These dimmers can be used to dim lights from several locations. They are suitable for dimming resistive lamps, dimmable transformer low voltage lamps.

FunctionsSlim buttons give an easy press action. Pressing the button dims or brightens the light to any level. A quick press switches off. Another press returns the lamp softly to its previous brightness. These dimmers can also be used to control the speed of fans and motors.

Special Features All versions are suitable for mains halogen lamps* without the need for derating. *Mains halogen lamps must have an integral thermal safety fuse.

The soft start feature prolongs the lamp life.

Multi-way switching and dimming can be achieved from any position only by using the complementary DANLERS slave switches (see page 63).
