LED dimmer module has auto-detect function for either leading edge or trailing edge with 5-150W load, 230-240V 50Hz A dimmer switch is a type of light switch that allows you to control the amount of electricity that flows to the lights it controls, which, when turned down dims them or when turned up brightens them, manually enabling you to set the light level in a room.
If the new dimmer switch has a metal faceplate then you will also need to connect the earth to the earth terminal on the faceplate. For the purpose of this project we will be swapping and existing 1 gang 1 way switch for a similar 1 gang 1 way dimmer switch. Step 1 – Isolate Circuit
Once done, put the 2 screws to one side and pull the faceplate away and turn it to reveal the internals on the rear of the face. Smart dimmers: Use smart automation technology and wifi to enable you to control a single or set of lights using an app our dimmer switches cannot be used in conjunction with each other. We recommend using one dimmer switch per circuit Upgrade your lighting experience with Lightwave Smart Dimmers. These innovative devices transform your standard switches into incredibly versatile smart home controllers. Say goodbye to the same old light switch and embrace the future of smart lighting.
If you have a metal face plate for your switch there should also be a green and yellow earth wire to a small terminal on this. If not then it should be connected to the metal box in the wall called a pattress box. If the pattress box is plastic then it should be screwed into the earth terminal somewhere inside. In this DIY guide we look at how to fit a dimmer switch in place of a standard light switch. Regulations for Fitting Dimmer Switches To fit a dimmer switch in place of a standard light switch you will need the following tools and materials: To release each wire on the switch, use your flat blade screwdriver to loosen the small screw in each terminal and then pull the wires free. If the earth is also fixed to the faceplate, unscrew this, if attached to the pattress box leave it where it is. Most incandescent and halogen bulbs are compatible with dimmers, but generally CFL’s (or compact fluorescent lights) or those that are controlled by a transformer generally don’t, unless they are made specifically for use with dimmer switches.Control From Anywhere: Whether you're at home or on the go, the Lightwave app empowers you to control and monitor your lights from anywhere. Illuminate your space before you even step in or create the illusion of occupancy. With Lightwave, you're always in control.
Today, modern dimmer switches are much more efficient and instead of using a resistor, essentially turns the light on and off very rapidly every second. As both UK and US electricity is AC (alternating current) it turns from positive to negative every cycle. Adding a dimmer switch to the lighting in a room can have a dramatic effect on the overall ambience of a room, allowing you to lower the lighting levels to create a much more relaxed environment.

Traditionally, dimmer switches used a variable resistor that essentially restricts the flow of electricity by converting it to heat. This not only caused the resistor to get hot but also, this was a massive waste of electricity. Fitting a dimmer switch in place of an existing standard light switch is a fairly easy and straight forward job as long as you know what you are doing. Aside from the main differences in how they operate, dimmer switches are also available in several different operation:
