Do not use dimmer switches for fluorescent, energy-saving bulbs or fans (unless specified for this use), the dimmer switch will eventually burn out.

For best results on products incorporating integral low voltage electronic/Toroidal transformers, we recommend using fully electronic inductive dimmers incorporating low interference design.

Products using mains voltage halogen bulbs (GU10, G9 and R7S), follow the guide below.

Dimmer switches must not be overloaded! It is quite normal for dimmer switches to run warm and for you to hear a slight buzzing noise coming from the dimmer switch when in operation.
