This is the Forbes and Lomax 2GIBELL/OLB, a two gang composed of one gang momentary switch + one intermediate dolly switch aged brass plate, 2G button dimmer controller, manufactured by Forbes and Lomax.
The Forbes and Lomax Aged Brass finish has been designed to look beautifully antiqued upon installation and has been left unlacquered to patina even more over time. Alternatively, it can be polished to bring back some of the shine.
The real beauty of this finish from Forbes & Lomax lies in the mellow aged look of the brass, as though it has been an original part of the interior for many years. The toggles, dimmer knobs and push buttons are supplied polished but unlacquered, providing a subtle accent to the more muted finish of the plates.
1 Gang Momentary Switch + 1 Intermediate Dolly Switch Aged Brass Plate, 2 Gang Button Dimmer Controller Manufactured by Forbes and Lomax
- This is a Forbes & Lomax 2 button dimmer - one momentary switch and one intermediate dolly switch
- Finish: aged brass plate
- All momentary switches (contact-closure switches) require an in-line dimming pack to enable them to work as a dimmer, or a relay pack to have an ON/OFF function. The button dimmer controller allows dimming from more than one location, and it can be used to control home automation systems.
- All Forbes and Lomax switches and sockets require British standard 35mm deep flush wall boxes.
- Dimensions: 22.2mm diameter button dimmer, with no plastic trim.
- The Forbes and Lomax Momentary / contact closure switches require an in-line dimmer pack to enable them to work as a dimmer. They can be used for lighting control and home automation systems. The dimmer pack has to be located in an accessible void, out of earshot; any noise generated when dimming will come from the dimmer pack - no noise will be emitted from the switch itself.
- You can achieve multiple switching locations on one lighting circuit by wiring the buttons in parallel; all the locations must have momentary controls, and each location can be used to dim. However, you cannot use normal switches on the same circuit as the button dimmer.
- To use a momenary control as a simple ON/OFF switch, you need to put a link to the in-line relay pack.
- Please note: The button dimmer / momentary switch will only work in conjunction with an inline dimmer (see the required items). The way it works is: one in-line dimmer (impulse dimmer) per button dimmer. For 50-1000W 4A dimming you can order the ID0401 and for LED dimming you can use ID0101LE.

Integrating Forbes & Lomax Switches with Lighting Control and Home Automation Systems
- Forbes & Lomax contact closure push buttons and toggle switches can be used as controls for panel-based home automation systems such as Mode Edin, Lutron Homeworks, Crestron KNX, Control 4, Rako and many more.
- The switches connect to these systems using contact closure interfaces. Once connected, different functions can be assigned to the switches via programming in the system’s software. Typical examples of functions would be selecting and dimming a lighting zone or scene, cycling through multiple scenes, switching the “whole house off”, raising and lowering window shades, etc.
- Cover plates can be custom engraved with text to denote the functions of each switch. Whilst our contact closure push buttons and toggles function as the front-end controls (an alternative to standard “keypads”), it is the lighting control systems and “panel” of dimmers, which are hidden away in an electrical closet, that would handle the lighting loads.
- The contact closure interfaces can either be housed in the back boxes behind the Forbes & Lomax switches or in the electrical closet with the system’s processor. If the interfaces are located with the processor, data cables would need to be run from each switch location back to the interfaces. If the interfaces are in the back boxes behind the switches, the switch locations can be wired together as a network. One must bear in mind the size of the interfaces, when considering housing them in the back boxes behind the switches.
