Light Dimmers






Adjust the brightness of lights.
Toggle dimmers move in a smooth motion and stay put in any position. The higher you push the toggle, the brighter your lighting level.
Slide dimmers include both a switch and a dimmer. Use them to turn lights on and off while maintaining your desired brightness level.
Dimmers for LEDs only use the 0-10V dimming standard—pair them with 0-10V DC dimmable bulbs.
Three-way dimmers let you control the same circuit of lights from two locations, so they’re often used in large, open workspaces. Pair them with a 3-way on/off switch.

Heavy Duty Light Dimmers


Often used with high-wattage lights, an external heat sink prevents these dimmers from overheating. They stick out from the wall 1/2 in. to help them disperse heat.

Smart Light Dimmers

Adjust how bright lights are from anywhere. These dimmers use Wi-Fi to sync to a downloadable app on your smartphone or tablet. Use the app to set the brightness, turn lights on and off, and set a lighting schedule. For example, you might set the light to dim during peak sunlight hours. Someone working in the area is still able to turn the brightness up by pressing the top push button on the dimmer. Use up to 20 of these dimmers—even if they’re across different circuits—on the same Wi-Fi network.
Often used in large, open workspaces, these dimmers can be wired on opposite ends of the room to control the brightness of lights on the same circuit.

Plug-In Light Dimmers


Control the brightness of desk lamps and other plug-in lights without altering your switch or outlet. Just plug these dimmers into the wall, then plug your light into the dimmer. They work with most types of light bulbs—just make sure your bulb is dimmable.
Panel-Mount Light Dimmers

Brighten or dim your facility or workstation's light from a control panel. These dimmers fit through a standard panel cutout. Lightly press and hold your finger to adjust the light level. Rated IP67, these dimmers are so watertight they could even handle brief submersion. They also seal out dust.
Dimmers are great if you want to control the brightness from one place but turn the light on or off from a switch somewhere else. For example, you might want to dim a light over your storage area from a main control panel for energy efficiency but still be able to turn it on or off when you enter the area.
Dimmers with an on/off switch control power and brightness in one. Quickly tap them to turn the light on or off. When you turn it on, it returns to the last brightness level you set.

Wall-Mount Motion-Sensing Light Controls
Also known as occupancy sensors, these controls turn lights on when movement is detected and off when an area is empty. They fit standard wall plates. All have a manual time delay that will turn lights off after a set amount of inactivity.
Dimming light controls adjust the light’s brightness.
Controls with infrared sensors detect changes in heat and require a direct view of the occupants. Controls with infrared/ultrasonic sensors detect changes in heat as well as motion to minimize false activations. You can set them to use one or both detection methods to activate and keep lights on.
Controls with an automatic time delay can turn lights off automatically based on usage patterns.
For light controls with 24V DC input voltage, you'll need a power controller to switch a 120- or 277-volt AC lighting circuit. Power controllers have a relay that switches a maximum 20-amp load.

Smart Wall-Mount Motion-Sensing Light Dimmers

Control the brightness of lights from your smartphone. Using a Bluetooth-connected app on your phone or tablet, you can schedule when lights turn on, adjust their brightness levels, and set their movement sensitivity. Also known as occupancy sensors, these dimmers turn lights on when motion is detected and off when people are away. You can override the motion sensor function with a tap on the app to manually switch or dim lights. They fit in standard wall plates.
Dimmers with infrared sensors detect changes in heat sources and require a direct view of people occupying the space to activate.
Dimmers with infrared/ultrasonic sensors minimize false activation by detecting changes in heat sources and motion. They can be set so that only one or both detection methods are required to activate and hold lights on.
For light controls with DC input voltage, you'll need a power controller to switch a 120V or 277V AC lighting circuit. Power controllers have a relay that switches a maximum 20-amp load.

Smart Ceiling-Mount Motion-Sensing Light Controls
Fine-tune motion-sensing light controls from your smartphone or tablet. Mounting on the ceiling gives these light controls a clearer view of the room than wall-mount sensors, so they detect motion over a larger area. They connect to a free downloadable app using Bluetooth. Use the app to adjust the amount of time lights stay on after people leave, set schedules, or override the sensor so lights are always on. Also known as occupancy sensors, they turn lights on when they sense movement and off after people leave.
Controls with infrared sensors detect changes in heat sources and need a direct view of people.
Controls with infrared/ultrasonic sensors have two detection methods to minimize false activation: infrared to sense heat sources and ultrasonic to sense motion. Use the app to adjust whether both or just one of these triggers will switch the lights.
Controls with a dimmer let you adjust the brightness of your lights.
Add companion switches to control lights manually without having to wire them directly into the light circuit. Attach them to any interior wall or outlet box and pair them wirelessly on the app.

Fixture-Mount Motion-Sensing Light Controls
Detect motion near your light fixture to turn lights on and off. Compared to switch-mount motion controls that detect from a single wall, these controls have a better view of the entire space since they sense motion from above. Also known as occupancy sensors, these controls have an infrared sensor that activates when it detects a change in heat. To work properly, they need an unobstructed view of your space. All have a time delay to turn lights off after a set time. Rated IP65, these controls are protected from washdowns.
These light controls monitor motion in a full circle for coverage in all directions. Those that cover 7,690 sq. ft. have lenses that can be swapped out to limit where they sense. Half-circle sensing lenses are best for concentrating coverage to a certain part of a room, such as a workstation or an entrance. Narrow sensing lenses are best for the end of aisles in spaces with high ceilings like those in warehouses and factories.
