1 Gang Momentary Switch + 1 Gang 2 Way Dolly Switch Nickel Silver Plate, 2 Gang Button Dimmer Controller Manufactured by Forbes and Lomax
- This is a Forbes & Lomax 2 button dimmer - 1 momentary switch and 1 two way dolly switch
- Finish: nickel silver plate
- All Forbes and Lomax switches and sockets require British standard 35mm deep flush wall boxes.
- 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.
- Dimensions: 22.2mm diameter button dimmer, with no plastic trim.
- 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.

About the Forbes and Lomax Nickel Silver Range
Nickel Silver first became popular in the 19th century due to its similarity to Sterling Silver and was commonly used for various decorative items around the home.

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.
