Dimmer 2 is a new, improved universal dimming module. Dimmer 2 allows remote control over any source of light. It significantly extends the lifespan of the bulbs and reduces the electricity use.
FIBARO Dimmer 2 is a device designed to control various types of light sources in 2 or 3-wire connection. The device can switch or dim connected light source remotely using Z-Wave wireless protocol or through the wall switch connected directly to it. Dimmer 2 is equipped with a smart algorithm of light source detection which makes configuration easier and ensures high compatibility of the device. It may be used as a switch with non-dimmable light sources in 3-wire connection. Active power and energy consumption allows to monitor and reduce electricity bills. Dimmer 2 is compatible with any Z-Wave or Z-Wave Plus Controller. As a dimmer it operates under the following loads: • 230V operated conventional incandescent and halogen light sources • ELV electronic transformers (12V operated halogen lamps and dimmable LED bulbs) • MLV ferromagnetic transformers with 12V operated halogen lamps • dimmable LED bulbs • dimmable compact fluorescent CFL tube lamps • supported dimmable light sources with minimal power of 5VA (power factor > 0.5) using FIBARO Bypass FGB-002 Without dimming function it may work with: • compact fluorescent lamps • fluorescent tube lamps with electronic ballast • LED bulbs (power factor > 0.7) • supported light sources with minimal power of 5VA (power factor > 0.5) using FIBARO Bypass FGB-002
