Forbes & Lomax 

The New Micro Dimmer from Forbes & Lomax

This autumn, Forbes & Lomax is excited to launch its new Micro Dimmer pack. The micro dimmer pack allows you to adjust the brightness of LED lights when used in conjunction with fully retractive switches, such as the Forbes & Lomax retractive dolly switch and momentary button. 

Micro dimmer packs can be installed directly behind the switch and controlled at the touch of a button. Due to their compact size, they are ideal where space is limited. 

As they can be retrofitted, they therefore offer an uncomplicated way of updating switches, as no extra wiring is required.

All plates are handcrafted in the UK and assembled at the Forbes & Lomax workshop in South West London.
