Dimmer Switch Installation and Usage Guide

Dimmer switches are essential tools for adjusting the brightness of light bulbs, commonly used in residential and commercial settings to enhance energy efficiency and manage lighting ambiance. JC-LGL's switches are specifically designed for our best-selling product—LED High Bay Light—allowing users to easily control light intensity and create the ideal lighting environment that meets their needs.

Advantages of Upgrading to Dimmer Switches

Installing dimmer switches in your warehouse or workshop offers several benefits.

- Energy Savings: Dimming your led high bay light can lead to significant energy savings on your electricity bill, as using fewer watts when high bay lights are dimmed can result in savings of 18-20% on lighting costs, depending on the number of dimmers and usage frequency.

- Extended Bulb Life: When led high bay lights are dimmed, they work less hard, which can extend their lifespan. While this may not apply to all types of bulbs, many everyday bulbs can last two to three times longer when dimmed.

- Enhanced Control: Dimmer switches allow you to customize the lighting to suit various tasks and activities. You may need bright lights for detailed work, but prefer a softer ambiance during breaks or meetings. Dimmers provide the flexibility to create the ideal environment in your warehouse or workshop.

Compatibility of JC-LGL Dimmer Switch

Our Dimmer Switch is compatible with lights that have a 0-10V dimming feature. Even if the lights are not purchased from our website, as long as they support 0-10V dimming, our Dimmer Switch can be used with them.

Many customers who purchase multiple UFO Led high bay lights may want to connect these lights to a single dimmer switch for convenient control of multiple lights at once. However, it’s important to note that our dimmer switch has a maximum total load of around 600 watts. Ideally, this means you can control the brightness of up to six 100W LED High Bay Lights at once, but it's best not to exceed this number. For 150W High Bay LED Lights, it's advisable not to connect more than four to avoid overheating or reducing the lifespan of the lights. Of course, some dimmer switches can handle higher wattages; if you plan to control more than six lights with one dimmer switch, you can check Amazon or other retailers for dimmer switches capable of handling close to 1000 watts.

Installation Considerations

Before installation, it's best to be aware of the following points:

1. Turn off power at circuit breaker or fuse before wiring.

2. Only one dimmer can be used per 3-way circuit.

3. It is normal for the dimmer to feel warm to the touch during operation.

4. FOR SUPPLY CONNECTOR, USE WIRES RATED FOR AT LEAST 75ºC and USE COPPER WIRE ONLY.
