    Brings Lamp Modules into the 21st Century
    The LampLinc Essential does everything traditional lamp modules do, but without the unattractive, boxy look and technology that pre-dates the first personal computers. The clean, smooth lines of this remote lamp dimmer easily blend into the wall while the modern electronics inside carefully listen to the powerline for the faintest of signals. The LampLinc Essential couldn't get any easier to install; simply plug it into your outlet.

    Compatible with Virtually All Controllers and Computer Interfaces
    LampLinc Essential operates and responds to all the standard X10 signals including On, Off, All Lights On, All Units Off, as well as Bright and Dim. This makes it fully compatible with all home automation programs like ActiveHome, HouseLinc™ and the original home automation computer interface, the CP-290. LampLinc Essential works with all these programs by coming on at full brightness (unless Resume Dim mode is enabled).

    Durable Construction
    Unlike traditional lamp modules, which use old-fashioned address wheels that are difficult to adjust and sometimes fail, LampLinc™ Essential's X10 address is set electronically with any standard X10 transmitter. Just send the address three times in a row within 30 seconds of being plugged in. After the third address is received, the lamp that's plugged into it will turn on to indicate it has successfully learned the signal. And don't worry about LampLinc™ Essential forgetting its address during a power failure; EEPROM memory will retain the address you programmed.

    32 Dim Levels
    In many instances the light output between steps is difficult to distinguish. But the LampLinc™ Essential includes 32 levels of dimming, twice that of traditional lamp modules. This feature is ideal if you want to use a computer controller to simulate a sunrise in the morning, or having the lamp fade off over any period of time you specify with the controller.

    Resume Dimming or Full Brightness... You Decide
    The Resume Dim feature will turn the lamp back on at the dim level it was set to when it was last turned off. Alternately, the LampLinc™ can also be set to turn on at full brightness each time it's turned on.

    How is LampLinc™ Essential Different from the Original LampLinc™?
    The LampLinc™ Essential is built upon the same platform and contains the nearly the same electronics found in the original LampLinc™. The maximum wattage for the LampLinc™ Essential is 300 watts, as compared to 400 watts in the original LampLinc™ series. LampLinc™ Essential also lacks the pass-through outlet, Status LED, and Set button for programming the address. See the comparison chart below for more details.

    Reviews

    "Works better than expected, good X10 response." - MARK - ASHLAND, OR
    "The light comes on by itself. I'm thinking it is in the sensor to turn the light on by the light switch itself. A good feature unless it gets a false signal to turn on. Not to good for an alarm system." - LEONARD - RIVERSIDE, CA
    "im using this with linux mce, it works better than expected" - WILLIAM - ROCKFORD, IL
