Clipsal Iconic Dimmer

G'day! Anyone who's done a reno knows that great lighting is about more than just brightness; it's about creating a mood. The ability to dim your lights is the key to transforming a space from a bright, functional area into a soft, relaxing, and ambient retreat.

For years, that meant a clunky, old-school rotary dial on the wall. But technology has moved on, and the modern solution is far more stylish and clever. Enter the Clipsal Iconic dimmer.

What's the Go with the Clipsal Iconic Dimmer?

The Clipsal Iconic dimmer is the lighting control solution from Clipsal's premium, modern range of electrical accessories. It completely reimagines the dimmer, ditching the dated rotary dial for a sleek, minimalist push-button that perfectly matches the rest of the Iconic range of switches and powerpoints.

It's designed for renovators and homeowners who want precise control over their lighting, wrapped up in a sophisticated, contemporary package.

The Features That Make It a Ripper Choice

The Iconic dimmer is packed with clever features that make it a top choice for any modern Aussie home.

Sleek Push-Button Control

This is the most noticeable difference. The intuitive design is a pleasure to use: a quick press turns the lights on or off to your last-used brightness, and a long press smoothly dims the lights up or down to create the perfect atmosphere. It's clean, simple, and feels much more modern.

Customisable Skins to Match Your Style

Just like the rest of the Iconic range, the dimmer features a clip-on surround, or "skin." This means your installer fits the main electrical unit, and you can clip on a skin in your chosen colour. If you ever repaint your room, you can simply buy a new skin and clip it on yourself in seconds to match your new decor. No need to call a professional back just to change the colour!

Built for Modern LED Lights

This is a fair dinkum crucial feature. The Clipsal Iconic dimmer is a high-quality digital dimmer specifically engineered to work seamlessly with modern LED lights. This prevents the annoying flickering, buzzing, or poor performance you can get when you pair new LED globes with an old, incompatible dimmer switch.

Ready for a Smart Home Upgrade

The modular design of the Iconic range means you can easily upgrade your dimmer to be 'smart'. A professional installer can swap out the standard dimmer mechanism for a Clipsal Wiser smart dimmer 'mech'. This connects to your home Wi-Fi, allowing you to control the dimming from your phone, set schedules, or use voice commands with Google Assistant and Alexa.

Installation: A Job for a Qualified Professional, 100%

A dimmer switch is a complex piece of electronics that needs to be wired correctly to function safely and effectively. Installing a Clipsal Iconic dimmer is absolutely not a DIY job.

This work must be carried out by a licensed electrician. A qualified professional will ensure the dimmer is compatible with your specific lights, wired safely into your home's 240V mains power, and complies with all Australian standards.
