Number of dimmers Maximum load per dimmer
Resistive LED
1 350W 200W
2 250W 140W
3 200W 110W
4 150W 85W
5 120W 65W
6 100W 55W
Programming Minimum Light Level
The minimum dimming level can be raised to increase compatability with a wide range of lights under the settings menu for the smart dimmer (within the Smartlife Air app). This can be saved and locked to prevent accidental changes.
The load type can also be selected to better match dimming characteristics to your light.
Smartlife Air/Connect Compatability
This setting can only be adjusted within Smartlife Air. The current value can only be viewed in Smartlife Connect.
Lighting Compatability
This dimmer is compatibly with most LED and incandescent bulbs and lighting devices. If required you can raise the minimum lighting level to avoid any low level flickering due to different driver designs.
Smartlife Air/Connect Compatability
This setting can only be adjusted within Smartlife Air. The current value can only be viewed in Smartlife Connect.
