Standard size switches with stylish hand-finished, solid-metal face plates complement any décor. A host of other convenient options includes a 24-hour 7-day dimmer timer that schedules your selected scenes for wake-up, welcome, and security.

With the Futronix P100 dimmer, you can dim the lights from the comfort of your chair - control the atmosphere of your room at the touch of a button – or set your bedroom lights to gently fade up to wake you in the morning. Enjoy peace of mind, knowing your house lights will automatically switch to a security setting at night - even when you are out!

The P100’s 2 channel dimmer can be programmed to any level of brightness from 0 to 100%, with the levels automatically stored as one of 20 scenes per channel, each offering a different 'look' to your entire room or space.

Set your desired scenes for entertaining, relaxing, watching TV or reading - or for security or energy saving. Once set up, recall your favourite scenes simply by touching a single button on either the switch panel or the supplied remote control unit.

The 2mm thick solid metal face plates are elegantly finished with highly polished or smoothly brushed surfaces to complement any room design.

Remote Control

Your choice of dimming levels can be selected with the remote control supplied with the P100 dimmer. Program dimming levels, master raise and lower, fade rate and sleep timer duration – all from the convenient remote control. Or adjust any of the lighting levels without storing them. Choose power up dimming options, either the last dimming level selected or OFF. Additionally, the P100 dimmers remote control commands can be ‘learnt’ by any universal learning remote control.
See Universal remote controls.

Timer

Program the P100’s timer to select any scene at any time and on any day of the week - up to 70 different events each week (10 per day). Uses range from ‘welcome’ scenes - which automatically switch house lights on when you return home - to selecting security settings or even waking you up gently in the morning by fading up your bedroom lights.

Energy Saving

Dimming lighting saves energy. Bulb life is also prolonged by 30% because fading a lamp is gentler on the filament than just switching it on or off.
