Choosing the Right Dimmer Switch for Your LED Lights in NZ

If you're upgrading your home lighting to LEDs, it's important to choose the right dimmer switch. Not all dimmers work with LED lights, so making the right choice ensures smooth dimming, energy savings, and no flickering.

Why Use a Dimmer Switch?

• Energy Efficiency: Reduce power usage when lights are dimmed.
• Custom Ambience: Adjust brightness to suit different moods or times of day.
• Extended Bulb Life: Lower brightness reduces wear on LED chips.

Why Our Trailing-Edge Dimmer Switch Is Ideal

Unlike traditional leading-edge dimmers (designed for incandescent loads), our LED-compatible trailing-edge dimmer switch is engineered specifically for modern LED electronics. Trailing-edge dimmers:

• Handle low-wattage LED loads without buzzing or flicker
• Provide a wider, smoother dimming range (down to 5–10%)
• Are gentler on LED driver circuits, extending bulb life

Tips for Installing Your Dimmer Switch

1. Ensure your bulbs are labeled “dimmable.”
2. Install only our trailing-edge dimmer switch for best performance.
3. Have a licensed electrician complete the wiring for safety and compliance.
