This G&H touch and remote control dimmer switch is a 3 gang 1 way ‘master’ switch - meaning the switch can control three sets of lights on its own. To create a multi-way circuit this switch can be combined with our dimmer slave switches (to create a 2-way, 3-way, 4-way etc circuit), but this switch can-not be used with anything other than a dimmer slave if you have a multi-way circuit. When combined with a slave switch, only this master switch has remote control operation, but all the switches in the circuit can be operated and dimmed by touch (which is better than a standard dimmer switch which can only be paired with an on/off switch). Please note, you cannot combine two ‘master’ switches together, you must have only one ‘master’ switch on a circuit (with the other switches being slaves).

This switch uses infrared remote control so can be operated by any infrared remote control such as a TV or stereo remote control. You can simply programme any spare or unused button on your existing remote control to operate this switch. Specialist remote controls such as our Varilight YRC8 remote control are ideal for use with our switches. The YRC8 can control up to 7 circuits (with an 8^th button to operate all circuits on/off together). Infrared remote controls have a range of approximately 15-20 metres and are line of sight operated only (can not be used through walls). Programming our switches with a remote is a very easy and quick process – full instructions are enclosed with the switch.

This switch comes supplied with a Varilight YRC8 remote control as pictured (batteries not included, requires 2 x AA batteries). Please note, we also sell our switches without the YRC8 remote (which reduces the price of each switch by approximately £5.50). Simply remove the code ‘YRC8’ from the listing title when searching for the equivalent switch supplied without a remote control.

The dimming function works by tapping the sensor on the switch for on/off control, and holding your finger on the sensor to dim up and down. The same principal applies for remote control operation. Our remote dimmers remember the last dimming setting when you switch the light back on.

This G&H touch and remote control dimmer switch has a maximum load rating of 400 watts and a minimum load rating of 20 watts.

To choose the correct dimmer switch you simply need to add the wattage of the bulbs you wish to dim and choose a dimmer with a suitable maximum load rating. For example, if you require a 1 gang dimmer switch to control 7 light bulbs, each with a rating of 50 watts, the load will be 7 x 50 = 350 watts. This means a dimmer switch with a maximum load rating of 400 watts would be suitable. Overloading a dimmer switch (exceeding the maximum load) or under-loading a dimmer switch (not meeting the minimum load) can result in buzzing, overheating, lack of dimming capability and possible dimmer switch failure.

G&H touch and remote dimmer switches use trailing edge dimming technology which fades the voltage to zero rather than switching abruptly off, which along with its soft start function helps to prolong the life of the lamp. G&H remote dimmer switches are suitable for both mains and low voltage lighting circuits, up to the maximum load as specified on the dimmer. They are ideal for use with mains incandescent GLS lamps (standard mains light bulbs) and can also be used with GU10 or similar Hi Spot Mains Halogen lamps and electronic transformers. They are not suitable for wire-wound transformers and we do not recommend these dimmers for use with dimmable LED’s.

G&H Brassware are a UK manufacturer of high quality switches and sockets. All G&H plates are manufactured to the highest standard from solid brass and are then hand-finished before being ultrasonically cleaned and electrophoretically lacquered. Antique finishes are air dry lacquered to achieve the antique effect (the process used for antique finishes means that the colour of the finish can vary slightly from switch to switch). The G&H stainless steel finish is made from 304 grade stainless steel. All electrical components used in G&H products are of the highest quality and are fully compliant with all regulations. All G&H products are covered by a full 1 year guarantee and come supplied with two screws coloured to suit the switch or socket.
