    All the great features of the SwitchLinc 2-Way Dimmer 600w but with 1,000 watts for larger loads.

    Scene Lighting — Change the Lighting to Match Your Mood
    Scenes allow you to control multiple lights, rooms or even the whole home with a single X10 command. All member lights will ramp to your independently desired levels at your chosen ramp rate(s). Because the SwitchLinc 2-Way Dimmer can be a member of up to 64 scenes (i.e. "Movie Time," "Party," "Romance," etc.), you'll be able to launch various mood lighting scenarios with a single button press. These are elegant features usually found only in systems costing thousands of dollars and requiring extensive rewiring of your home. To create the equivalent of scenes with other X10 switches, you'll need a separate automation controller, which adjusts each light one-at-a-time, taking longer, increasing the likelihood of errors due to signal collisions and creating a chaotic series of lighting adjustments.

    True Rocker Action & Beautiful, High Quality Construction
    Unlike other X10-compatible switches, the SwitchLinc 2-Way Dimmer offers the natural feel of high-end switches: tap the top to turn lights on, tap the bottom to turn lights off. Other X10 switches only respond to pressing the bottom. You'll also love the crisp, tactile response with each touch, instead of the mushy feeling of other brands. The SwitchLinc is designed and manufactured to high-end specifications and goes through over 10 quality control tests. You'll thank yourself for choosing this premium quality product.

    Fully X10 Compatible
    SwitchLincs can be controlled from any X10 transmitter. Unlike some switches, SwitchLinc responds to all the standard X10 commands.

    Adjustable Fade Rate
    You can adjust the rate at which the light turns on or off, also known as the ramp rate. For example, you may want the light in the stairwell to turn on instantly so you can see where you're walking. Conversely, you may want the light in the master bathroom to ramp up in a soft, gentle fashion so you're not blinded in the middle of the night. The ramp rate is adjustable between 0.1 seconds and 9 minutes (for a simulated sunrise or sunset).

    Dimmable
    You can adjust the brightness level locally by pressing and holding the top or bottom of SwitchLinc. You can also adjust the brightness remotely by sending it standard, X10 dims and brights or by sending it a Preset Dim command. If you need to control a fluorescent light fixture, consider the SwitchLinc 2-Way Switch.

    Brightness Indicator Bar
    An elegant brightness bar of 8 LEDs indicates the current brightness of the lights being controlled. This can be exceptionally helpful when it is difficult to see the light being controlled (e.g. outside or behind closed doors).

    Night / Status Light
    A small, subtle green LED at the top of SwitchLinc makes it easy to find in a dark room. The LED blinks in response to X10 signals making installation and troubleshooting simple.

    Easy to Install and Set Up
    SwitchLinc wires in like a standard wall switch, with an additional connection to a neutral wire. To set the X10 address, press and hold the set-button for 5 seconds then send it the X10 address from any X10 compatible transmitter. To set the primary on level, adjust it to the desired brightness level and single tap the set button. To set the ramp rate, brighten the light to a level corresponding to the desired ramp rate and double tap the set button. All features/options can be set up remotely using an X10 transmitter (except the base address).

    X10 Preset Dim Compatible
    Send a single X10 preset-dim command to SwitchLinc and it will adjust the light to your desired level.

    Status Confirmation
    You can poll the status of SwitchLinc for an instant status report, including brightness level. This feature is essential when you need to know if the device being controlled is on or off, especially when you are controlling it via the web or telephone.

    Create Virtual 3 & 4-Way Circuits & Control Other Devices
    SwitchLinc allows you to customize your lighting setup no matter how your house is wired. Install SwitchLinc 2-Way without connecting a load and program its base address the same as another X10 compatible light switch and you've created a virtual 3-Way circuit. To move a switched outlet without rewiring the circuit, simply replace your switch with SwitchLinc 2-Way and plug a LampLinc or ApplianceLinc into the desire outlet. Another popular application is to integrate an intelligent controller with SwitchLinc 2-Way allowing you to turn all lights off in response to a double tap.

    3- & 4-Way Ready
    Simply add a SwitchLinc Multi-way Companion to build a 3-way circuit, add two of them to build a 4-way circuit, add three for 5-way, etc. The multi-way companions simply connect to the yellow wire on SwitchLinc 2-Way.

    Double Tap
    Double tap of top brings light to full on fast while a double tap of the bottom turns lights off fast.

    Low Voltage/Ceiling Fan Control
    SwitchLinc 2-Way Dimmer can control low voltage halogen (e.g. track) or other low voltage lights. (Note: works with most magnetic and dimmable electronic transformers.) Also, SwitchLinc 2-Way can control your ceiling fan. (Note: some motors may produce a subtle humming sound.)

    Power Failure Features
    All SwitchLinc settings are stored in static memory and are not lost during power failures. Additionally SwitchLinc will return to its last brightness level upon a power restore.

    2-Year Warranty
    Smarthome stands behind the entire SwitchLinc line of products with a full 2-year warranty. Increase your warranty from 2 years to 7 for a nominal fee. Check the box above.

    Safety Tested and Factory Certification

    All SwitchLinc products are safety approved. The assembly line for Smarthome Design Products is ISO9002 certified. In order to meet the ISO 9002 standards, the entire factory underwent rigorous inspections of procedures and policies before being thoroughly audited. The certification received was based on its dedication to high quality management systems and strict adherence of quality systems and guidelines.


    Large Installation?
    We recommend substituting the SwitchLinc Plus for the 2-Way SwitchLinc in any large scale installation where the transmit feature of the 2-Way SwitchLinc is not required.
