Home >> Home Automation >> X10 >> LD11 DIN mounted lamp module

X10 controlled dimmer
Suitable for dimming Incandescent Lamps (60W - 700W) and Dimmable Electronic Low Voltage Transformers (60W - 525W)
Compatible with "Professional X10" commands allowing direct access to 64 dim levels
Memory dim - returns to the same dim level, the next time you turn it on
Fade-up and Fade-down - gradually raises the light's brightness when turned on, and gradually lowers the brightness when turned off
DIN mounted - installs in Consumer Unit

The LD11 is a DIN mounted lamp module, and will control standard bulb lights, and low voltage lighting (using leading edge transformers) up to a maximum of 700 watts. The lamp module is useful when you wish to be able to dim the light you are controlling. The module has soft-start (when turned on, the module will gradually brighten the light from 0 up to the last dim level. When turned off, the reverse occurs. This extends the life of your bulbs enormously), and can be dimmed using Extended X10 functions (as sent by the likes of the HomeVision Home Controller which gives a dimming range of 64 units, you can additionally dim or brighten from any level to any level).

The really great thing about the LD11 (over and above the LW10) is that it "remembers" the last dim level. So when you next turn the module on, it will soft-start up to the previous dim level (the level it was when you last turned it off).

The LD11 requires a momentary push switch to operate (ie: a switch that is only on when you press it). We recommend using one the switch types shown in the righthand column of this page. It is possible to use any momentary switch as long as it can handle mains voltage.

A momentary push of the switch will either turn the light on or off. If you press and hold the switch then the light will cycle through dim/brighten.
