If you require a different dimmer version, such as a 1-10V controller or “satellite” dimmers, please get in touch.

Installation
Because of the modular nature of European wiring accessories, installation is slightly different to fitting the encapsulated (moulded) switches and sockets common in the UK. Have a look at the step-by-step pictures below, or consult the more detailed Gira rocker switch installation instructions.
NB: We used a European round box in the step-by-step pictures, but the procedure is the same for square UK boxes.
