2 Gang 2 Way Dimmer Switch - Pink

Pink is a rare thing on a light switch, and this one carries it confidently. The screwless plate sits flat and clean against the wall, with two chrome rotary knobs standing proud of the pink face. Each knob dims its own lighting circuit, twisting from a soft low level up to full brightness, so you set the mood for a room rather than simply flicking it on. It is rated at 100W and intended for LED lamps on ordinary household lighting circuits, which suits the low wattages most people now run overhead.

We would fit this where one switch position controls two separate circuits: downlights and a pendant over a kitchen island, bedside wall lights split left and right, or a dining room where the table light and the perimeter want different levels. Rotary control is easier to judge than a rocker for anyone who likes a precise setting, and it holds where you leave it. The colour makes it a choice for rooms decorated with some nerve, pink or plaster walls, bold joinery, a hallway, or a child's bedroom that has grown up a little.

The plate is moulded ABS and the switch is double insulated, meant for dry indoor rooms on a domestic supply rather than anywhere damp or exposed. Keep it looking right with an occasional wipe using a barely damp cloth and nothing more; household sprays and cream cleaners will dull a coloured plate faster than anything else. It carries a ten year warranty. We like it best alongside chrome switch plates and sockets elsewhere in the room, so the knobs read as deliberate, and we are glad to advise if you are matching it to hardware you already have.

What size is the plate?

The plate measures 88mm square, with a depth of 35mm behind it.

Will it dim LED lamps?

Yes, it is made for LED loads up to 100W. Check that the lamps or drivers you are using are marked as dimmable, as non-dimmable LEDs will flicker or buzz on any dimmer.

Can it be used in a two way arrangement?

Yes, it is a 2 way dimmer, so it can sit in a switch position that shares a circuit with a second switch.

Does each knob work independently?

It is a 2 gang switch, so each of the two knobs dims its own circuit, with separate levels held on each.

How should I clean the pink finish?

A soft cloth, dry or barely damp, is all it needs. Avoid solvents, polishes and anything abrasive, which will mark the coloured surface and the chrome.

Is it suitable for a bathroom or an outbuilding?

No. It is for dry indoor rooms on domestic lighting circuits, not damp or unheated spaces.
