Hamilton Litestat has launched a new 2-Way LED dimmer.

The dimmer is designed to be compatible with a wider range of mains dimmable lamp and luminaire brands.

Silent and flicker-free in operation, the LEDIT-B100™ is the perfect retrofit replacement when used with a standard 2-way Rocker Switch - ideal for applications such as larger rooms with two entrances/exits or on stairway lighting.

A third intermediate switch for extra control can be accommodated for long hallways and corridors.

LEDIT-B100™ comes pre-set to ‘Trailing-Edge’ as standard but the dimming mode can be manually set for ‘Leading-Edge’ control when necessary, and allows the minimum setting to be adjusted.

If the circuit contains a mixture of both Trailing and Leading-Edge LEDs, the dimming mode can be fine-tuned to deliver a smooth operation and maximum performance.

LEDIT-B100 ™ is based on Hamilton’s proven ‘intelligent’ LEDstat dimmer technology, which received ‘Highly commended’ status at the 2014 LUX Awards.

Gavin Williams, Hamilton’s Marketing Manager says: “We developed theLEDstat in response to the common issue of compatibility between branded LED lamps and conventional dimmers. The LEDIT-B100™ is the next stage in development, allowing the user to switch the same LEDs from 2 or more switch locations.”

The LEDIT-B100’s soft start feature helps extend lamp life. However, due to varying lamp inrush currents, Hamilton recommends a combined multi-lamp load of no more than 100W per dimmer.

The LEDIT-B100™ is available in Hamilton’s wide range of stylish plate designs and finishes to coordinate with existing interior themes.
