The phase dimmer provides precise manual dimming control for 120V lighting from a single location, making it suitable for virtually any lighting zone. With no minimum load requirements, this stand-alone dimmer accommodates a wide range of lighting types, including LED, CFL, ELV, incandescent, and halogen. Its compact depth of less than one inch allows for installation in standard wall boxes without crowding, simplifying setup and reducing installation time. The unit is proudly made in the USA and visually matches other wall devices in the product line, maintaining a consistent aesthetic across a project.
This dimmer supports both reverse phase (default) and forward phase dimming within the same unit, allowing flexibility in compatibility with different fixture types. Overload protection monitors the unit to prevent overheating, while relay-based switching eliminates minimum load restrictions commonly associated with triac-based dimmers. The dimmer’s enclosure is 25-40% shallower than standard wall dimmers, featuring individual easy-tap buttons for on, off, raise, and lower functions, and a modern design that complements other wall devices. A blue locator LED remains illuminated when the lights are off, aiding in visibility in low-light conditions.
Operationally, the phase dimmer offers configurable dimming parameters, including high and low trims as well as adjustable turn-on levels. A white LED indicator changes intensity in response to dim level adjustments, and all settings are accessible without removing the cover plate. The unit retains its level setting even after power interruptions, and programmable dimming curves allow customized response for different lighting environments.
Electrically, the dimmer operates at 120VAC, single-phase, 50/60 Hz, with maximum load ratings of 375W for LED, ELV, incandescent, and halogen in reverse phase mode, and 150W for CFL and LED in forward phase mode, with additional MLV ratings available upon consultation with the manufacturer. Load types supported include LED drivers and lamps, CFL, electronic or magnetic fluorescent ballasts, electronic low voltage devices, tungsten, and halogen. The unit has been tested for electrostatic discharge and surge immunity, ensuring reliable operation even under challenging electrical conditions, and non-volatile memory preserves all settings in the event of power loss.
Physically, the dimmer measures 2.74 inches high, 1.68 inches wide, and 1.39 inches deep, with a mounting depth of less than one inch, and weighs 4.5 ounces. It mounts in a single-gang switch box, and the bi-color LED status indicator provides visual confirmation of dimming activity. Environmentally, the dimmer is rated for operation from 32°F to 86°F (0°C to 30°C) under full load, with relative humidity tolerances from 0 to 95% non-condensing, making it suitable for typical indoor use.
This phase dimmer combines compact design, flexible load compatibility, and intuitive controls, delivering a reliable and visually consistent solution for single-location manual dimming of residential or commercial lighting systems.
