Module is designed to work with various types of light sources. It may be connected to two-wire or three wire configuration so it can operate with or without neutral lead
Remotely controlled light dimming module is designed to work with various types of light sources. It may be connected to two-wire or three wire configuration so it can operate with or without neutral lead. Dimmer-Control can switch or dim connected light source either through radio waves or through the wall switch connected directly to it. New Dimmer-Control is equipped with an algorithm of smart 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).
