Overview

  • Control a light remotely, turning it on and off and adjusting brightness levels
  • Full local control (Dim/Bright, On/Off)
  • Incorporate a lamp into multiple lighting design scenes in minutes
  • Award-winning INSTEON technology: the ultimate in simplicity and reliability

Essential Info

The LampLinc - INSTEON Plug-In Lamp Dimmer Module is a full-featured device that can be remotely controlled by a KeypadLinc, SmartLinc or any other INSTEON controller. This simple-to-use plug-in dimmer has advanced features like an adjustable ramp rate that slowly brings the lamp on, a preset dim level that stores your preferred choice of 32 brightness levels when turning the lamp on initially, as well as local control, so you can still use the lamp's built-in switch to turn the light on and off. This LampLinc is made to be plugged into any wall outlet. This dimmer can control incandescent loads up to 300 watts.

Please note: This LampLinc sends and receives signals via the power line only. For the dual-band version (power line + RF), please see the LampLinc - INSTEON Plug-In Lamp Dimmer Module (Dual-Band), 2-Pin.

The original LampLinc - INSTEON Plug-In Lamp Dimmer Module is still available. It features a larger case, 3-pin plug, and a pass-through outlet. For a lower cost option with fewer features, try the ICON LampLinc, 2-pin instead.

Never come home to a dark house again: Install HouseLinc 2 - INSTEON Desktop Software on your computer to schedule any LampLinc or any other INSTEON-compatible device to turn on or off at any specific time or even at sunrise and sunset.

    Easy To Install
    The LampLinc is so easy to plug-in and set up that you'll want to add LampLinc dimmers to all of your lamps. Just unplug the lamp, plug the lamp into the bottom outlet of the dimmer, and plug in the dimmer where the lamp was plugged in. Link the dimmer to an INSTEON controller using the Plug & Tap programming method, and you'll be able to turn the lamp on and off, brighten and dim.

    Learn more about INSTEON.

    Brightness Levels
    You can adjust the brightness level of the controlled lamp by pressing and holding the on or off button of an INSTEON controller. The brightness level can also be adjusted on the module via the Up/Down buttons. Adjusting brightness levels is especially helpful when you want to create a theatrical experience when watching your favorite movie. Use a RemoteLinc or pair your universal remote control with an IRLinc, and you won't even have to leave the comfort of your couch to dim the light. When you turn on the LampLinc dimmer, it automatically comes on to full brightness. Setting the preset on level will make the dimmer stop at your preferred choice of 32 brightness levels. With software you can control brightness levels in one percent increments for ultimate flexibility. This is a great feature for your bedroom to set the mood.

    Adjustable Ramp Rate
    Adjust the speed at which the controlled light turns on or off, also known as the ramp rate. For example, you may want the lamp in the kids' room to turn on instantly so you can see where you're walking. Alternatively, you may want the lamp in the master bedroom to ramp up in a soft, gentle fashion so that you're not blinded when you wake up in the morning. The ramp rate is adjustable between 0.1 seconds and 9 seconds if programmed locally; this can be done by using the convenient Up/Down buttons located on the module. The ramp rate can extend up to 8 minutes (for a simulated sunrise or sunset) if programmed remotely. This is a great addition to your morning alarm, slowly turning the light on to help you wake up. If you have programmed a slow ramp rate and want to make the lamp come on instantly, simply double tap the controller's on button. To turn the light off quickly, double tap the controller's off button.

    Red/Green Status LED
    The Status LED is used for setup programming. It is now located at the top of the module for easier viewing when programming or troubleshooting.

    Create Multi-Way Circuits
    Want to be able to synchronize a wall switch with your lamp so that when your recessed lights are controlled at the switch, your floor lamp follows along? You can do it with INSTEON. Simply link your LampLinc with an INSTEON-compatible wall switch and in seconds you're done.

    Scene Lighting
    Scenes allow you to set unique lighting levels across multiple lights and trigger them with a single command. Because the LampLinc can be a member of more than 400 scenes (i.e. "Movie Time," "Party," "Romance," etc.), you'll be able to launch various lighting scenarios with a single button press on any INSTEON controller. These are elegant features usually found only in systems costing tens of thousands of dollars and requiring extensive rewiring of your home. All scene member lights can ramp to your independently desired brightness levels at your chosen ramp rate(s), so one set of lights can dim slowly while another set turns off instantly, all controlled with one command from one button.

    Compatibility
    The LampLinc Dimmer is fully INSTEON compatible and X10 ready. Homeowners with existing X10 networks can easily migrate to an INSTEON network without having to discard all their existing X10 devices. X10 ready means that it can respond to X10 a single X10 command from an X10 controller. Please note that INSTEON devices repeat INSTEON signals but not X10.

    Non-Volatile Memory
    All LampLinc Dimmer settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are not lost during power failures. Additionally, in the event of a power loss, the LampLinc Dimmer's lamp will return to its last brightness level when power is restored.

    Warranty
    Smarthome stands behind the entire INSTEON LampLinc line of products with a full 2-year warranty.

    BENOIT -- blainville, QC   11/9/2011
    Works as expected. No problem yet.
    ROBERT -- green cove springs, FL   11/8/2011
    These things are addictive. Now that 3-way incandescent bulbs are becoming rare, I am converting my 3-ways lamps to standard lamps, and using these to restore different levels of light. Of course, these work WAY better than the old 3-way sockets did!
    PETER -- los altos, CA   9/28/2011
    Works exactly as specified
    LARRY -- brandon, FL   9/20/2011
    I'm a newbie INSTEON user. The reason I'm giving it three stars is the programming learning curve. I'm used to X10 where any X10 controller can control any X10 device. With INSTEON, you have to link a specific controller with a specific module. If you make a mistake, you have to UNlink and then reprogram. If you really mess up, you have to do a factory reset and start all over. Also, the manuals assume a greater knowledge of INSTEON than a newbie would have. Again, it's the learning curve problem. Having said all that, INSTEON's dual band reliability is much better than X10. I can now control lights I could never reliably control with X10.
    ROBERT -- green cove springs, FL   9/18/2011
    The module is attractive and easy to setup and use. Sure beats X-10!
    CHRIS -- south jordan, UT   9/17/2011
    I love the new, smaller size and the on-device dimming control. I've got 10 of these little guys and they work flawlessly with my ISY-99i controller and my RemoteLincs.
    CHRIS -- huntington station, NY   9/10/2011
    Works great
    ROBERT -- toronto, ON   8/5/2011
    ditto
    RICHARD -- san antonio, TX   7/1/2011
    Runs hotter than expected
    SUNIL THOMAS -- bur dubai, XX   6/18/2011
    Good
    JOEL -- sao paulo, XX   5/30/2011
    Excellent. I recommend it.
    MIKE -- ambler, PA   5/2/2011
    Operates as described on web site. A +
    TED -- granada hills, CA   4/22/2011
    Works great. Dims inductive loads well.
    RICHARD -- lihue, HI   2/10/2011
    Excellent once one figures out how to configure it.
    RICHARD -- washington, DC   1/15/2011
    I like the smaller form factor, but I miss the pass-through outlet.
    WILLIAM -- stockton, CA   1/3/2011
    Good product, reliable operation
    BRUCE -- williamsburg, VA   12/25/2010
    The lower profile and local on/off and dimming control make this a winner. Works just like the regular LampLinc, with the exception of being just 2-pin (like most lamps are). I do miss the pass through plug, but since I only rarely need to use it, I'm still rating this at 5-stars.
    RAND -- wheeling, IL   12/24/2010
    I keep finding more uses for these. Couldn't be easier to automate a lamp or three!
    BOB -- park hills, KY   12/2/2010
    Unfortunately, the last 8 purchases have been to replace LampLink modules that have ceased working. I hope this newer unit is more reliable as these switches are not cheap. Heck, I still have some x10 switches that are over 30 years old and still work fine.
    KEVIN -- smithfield, RI   11/18/2010
    Worked Great! Nice Quality Dimmer Module.
