Double Dimmer Switch UK | 2 Gang LED Control

Premium 2 Gang Double Dimmer Switch for Complete Lighting Control

Struggling with Single-Zone Lighting Limitations?

Do you find yourself frustrated by having to choose between bright task lighting or cosy ambient lighting in your kitchen? Perhaps your living room has multiple light sources, but you can only control them all together – creating an all-or-nothing lighting scenario that never quite feels right?

You’re not alone. Thousands of UK homeowners face this daily challenge: wanting sophisticated, multi-zone lighting control but finding themselves limited by single-circuit switches that treat all lights the same. Your kitchen needs bright illumination over the worktop whilst maintaining softer ambient lighting. Your living room demands flexibility to highlight different areas depending on whether you’re reading, entertaining, or watching television.

The alternative? Installing two separate dimmer switches side by side, which not only looks cluttered but costs significantly more (£58+ for two singles) and requires twice the installation work. Meanwhile, many modern double dimmers on the market require neutral wires – often absent in UK properties built before 1965 – leaving you facing expensive rewiring costs of £200-500 or more.

What if there was a single, elegant solution that gave you complete independent control over two lighting zones, without the complexity, cost, or need for special wiring?

 

Introducing Your Complete Two-Zone Lighting Solution

Our premium double dimmer switch brings sophisticated two-zone lighting control to any UK home. This beautifully engineered switch features two completely independent touch control panels, each allowing smooth 0-100% dimming adjustment for its own lighting circuit.

What makes this double dimmer switch exceptional?

Unlike basic switches that force you to control all lights together, our double dimmer provides genuine independence. Adjust your kitchen ceiling spots to full brightness for food preparation whilst keeping under-cabinet lighting at a soft 20% for ambience. Brighten your living room’s main chandelier for reading whilst dimming wall lights to create depth and warmth. Control your bedroom’s main lighting and wardrobe illumination separately for ultimate convenience.

The precision-engineered touch panels respond instantly to your fingertips. Three intuitive buttons per zone – up, dim, and down – provide effortless control with tactile feedback. There’s no guesswork, no fiddling with tiny sliders, just immediate, precise adjustment exactly when you need it.

The game-changing advantage? This double dimmer switch requires no neutral wire. That means it works in virtually any UK home, regardless of age or existing wiring configuration. Victorian terrace? Post-war semi? Listed period property? If you have standard light switches now, you can install this double dimmer with no specialist wiring knowledge or expensive electrician call-outs.

 

 

Transform Every Room with Independent Control

True Independent Zone Control

This is where our double dimmer switch truly excels. Each gang operates completely independently with its own dedicated touch controls. Adjust zone one to 100% brightness whilst zone two sits at 15% – or any combination you desire. The controls never interfere with each other, giving you absolute precision over your lighting atmosphere.

Think of it as having two premium dimmer switches in a single, elegant package. But instead of the cluttered appearance of two separate switches side by side, you have one beautifully unified glass panel that looks intentional, professional, and sophisticated.

 

No Neutral Wire? No Problem

This is perhaps the most significant advantage of our double dimmer switch. Most UK properties built before 1965 lack neutral wires at switch locations, and even some modern homes have wiring limitations. Our dimmer is specifically engineered to work without this neutral wire, making it compatible with:

• Victorian and Edwardian properties
• Post-war housing developments
• Listed buildings and heritage properties
• Properties with traditional two-core wiring
• Any UK home where neutral wires aren’t accessible at switches

Installation is remarkably straightforward. If your existing light switches work, our double dimmer will work in exactly the same way – no special wiring knowledge required. This alone can save you £200-500 in rewiring costs that competitors’ products would necessitate.

 

Exceptional LED Capacity – 700W Per Gang

Where most double dimmers struggle with LED loads of 200-300W per gang, ours handles a massive 700W LED per circuit. That’s 1400W total capacity – enough to control virtually any domestic lighting installation you can imagine.

What does 700W per gang mean in practice?

Each zone can independently control:

• Up to 70× standard 10W LED bulbs
• Up to 140× energy-efficient 5W LED bulbs
• Multiple high-powered LED fixtures simultaneously
• Large open-plan kitchen lighting installations
• Extensive living room lighting schemes

You’ll never encounter the frustrating “not enough capacity” problem that plagues cheaper alternatives. Whether you’re controlling six GU10 spots in your bathroom or thirty downlights in a large kitchen-diner, this dimmer handles it effortlessly.

 

LED Anti-Flicker Technology Included

Unlike basic dimmers that leave you to solve LED compatibility issues yourself, we include two professional-grade LED anti-flicker adapters with every double dimmer switch. These £12-value components eliminate the annoying flickering, buzzing, and “dead zone” problems that plague LED dimming.

Simply connect each adapter between your dimmer and lights (detailed instructions provided), and enjoy silky-smooth dimming throughout the entire 0-100% range. No flicker at low levels, no humming at medium brightness, no frustration trying to find the “sweet spot” – just perfect, progressive dimming exactly as it should be.

 

Built for Lasting Quality

We believe in creating products that become permanent fixtures in your home. Our double dimmer switch features:

• Premium tempered glass panel – scratch-resistant, waterproof, and exceptionally elegant
• Solid touch-sensitive controls – tested to 100,000 cycles (approximately 274 years of daily use)
• Robust internal components – engineered for decades of reliable performance
• Full CE & BS certification – meets all UK electrical safety standards

Unlike cheap imports that fail within months, this is a dimmer you install once and enjoy for years. The seamless glass panel maintains its pristine appearance, the touch controls remain responsive, and the dimming performance stays smooth and consistent.

 

Perfect Applications for Two-Zone Control

Our double dimmer switch transforms lighting control in:

✅ Kitchens: The most popular application. Control ceiling spotlights independently from under-cabinet task lighting. Adjust overhead brightness for food preparation whilst keeping worktop lighting at comfortable levels for dining. Create the perfect cooking environment during meal prep, then transition seamlessly to ambient dining lighting.

✅ Living Rooms: Manage multiple lighting zones with precision. Control your main ceiling light or chandelier independently from wall lights, floor lamps, or picture lights. Bright illumination for reading and activities, softer ambient lighting for entertaining, or minimal glow for movie nights – all with effortless adjustment.

✅ Master Bedrooms: Control main bedroom lighting separately from wardrobe or dressing area illumination. Full brightness when getting dressed in the morning, gentle lighting for evening relaxation, and independent control so one partner can read whilst the other sleeps.

✅ Dining Rooms: Create the perfect atmosphere by controlling your statement pendant or chandelier independently from ambient wall lighting. Bright for family meals, dimmed for intimate dinners, with complete flexibility to adjust each zone precisely.

✅ Home Offices: Separate control of general room lighting and dedicated desk task lighting. Adjust overall brightness to complement natural daylight throughout the day, whilst maintaining optimal desk illumination for focused work.

✅ Bathrooms & En-suites: Control main ceiling lighting independently from mirror or vanity lights. Gentle illumination for nighttime visits, full brightness for grooming and makeup application, with each zone adjustable to your exact preference.

✅ Large Hallways: Manage entrance lighting separately from stairway illumination. Create welcoming first impressions with bright entrance lighting whilst keeping stairway areas subtly lit, or adjust both independently for different times of day.

Understanding the 700W Per Gang Capacity

Comprehensive compatibility information:

Each gang of this double dimmer switch handles up to 700W of dimmable LED lighting – significantly more than most alternatives on the market. Here’s what this means in practical terms:

✅ Gang 1 can control:

• Kitchen: 12× 5W GU10 spots (60W) + 2× 20W under-cabinet strips (40W) = 100W total ✅
• Living room: 1× 50W pendant + 6× 8W wall lights (48W) = 98W total ✅
• Bedroom: 1× 40W ceiling fixture + 2× 15W bedside lamps = 70W total ✅

✅ Gang 2 can simultaneously control:

• Independent zone with equal capacity
• Different room or different lighting zone in same room
• Completely separate adjustment from Gang 1

Compatible with:

• Dimmable LED bulbs (all fittings: E27, GU10, E14, B22)
• Halogen bulbs (up to 500W per gang)
• Incandescent bulbs (up to 500W per gang)
• LED strips (check manufacturer dimming compatibility)
• Vintage Edison LED filament bulbs

Important: Always ensure your LED bulbs are marked as “DIMMABLE”. Non-dimmable LED bulbs will flicker or fail to work correctly with any dimmer switch.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

What is a double dimmer switch?

A double dimmer switch (also called a 2-gang dimmer) allows you to control two completely separate lighting circuits from one switch panel. Each “gang” has its own independent dimming control, meaning you can adjust two different lights or lighting zones to different brightness levels simultaneously.

For example, in a kitchen, gang 1 might control ceiling spotlights whilst gang 2 controls under-cabinet lighting. You can set the ceiling to 100% brightness whilst keeping under-cabinet lights at 30% – or any combination you prefer. Each zone operates completely independently.

 

How is this different from buying two separate single dimmers?

Functionally, a double dimmer switch provides the same control as two separate single dimmers. However, there are significant advantages:

Aesthetic: One unified glass panel looks far more sophisticated and intentional than two separate switches side by side.

Cost: Our double dimmer costs £49 versus £58 for two singles (save £9).

Installation: Single installation process instead of fitting two separate switches (saves time and electrician costs).

Space: Takes up standard double-gang space (157mm width) – the same as having two singles side by side, but with a unified appearance.

Wiring: Simpler wiring configuration with one dimmer versus coordinating two separate units.

 

Do I need a neutral wire for installation?

No! This is one of the most significant advantages of our double dimmer switch. It’s specifically engineered to work without a neutral wire, making it compatible with virtually any UK property regardless of age.

Many UK homes built before 1965 lack neutral wires at switch locations. Competitor dimmers requiring neutral wires would necessitate expensive rewiring (£200-500), but ours installs using only the existing wiring – typically just four connections in total.

If your current light switches work normally, this dimmer will work in the same location without any additional wiring.

 

 Can I control lights in two different rooms?

Yes, absolutely. Each gang of the double dimmer can control lights in completely separate rooms. For example:

• Gang 1: Hallway lighting
• Gang 2: Landing lighting

Or:

• Gang 1: En-suite bathroom
• Gang 2: Master bedroom

The only requirement is that the electrical wiring for both circuits must come to the same switch location (which is common in UK properties for adjacent rooms or zones).

 

What’s the maximum wattage for LED bulbs?

Each gang supports up to 700W of dimmable LED lighting – that’s 1400W total across both gangs.

In practical terms, each zone can control:

• Up to 70× standard 10W LED bulbs
• Up to 140× energy-efficient 5W LED bulbs
• Any realistic domestic lighting installation

This is significantly more capacity than most double dimmers (typically 200-300W per gang), ensuring you’ll never encounter capacity limitations regardless of how many lights you’re controlling.

For halogen or incandescent bulbs, each gang supports up to 500W.

 

Will this work with my LED bulbs?

Yes, provided your LED bulbs are marked as “DIMMABLE”. This is crucial – non-dimmable LED bulbs will flicker, buzz, or may not work at all with any dimmer switch.

Check your bulb packaging or look for “DIMMABLE” printed on the bulb itself. Our dimmer works perfectly with all major dimmable LED bulb brands including Philips, Osram, IKEA, and others, in all common UK fittings (E27, GU10, E14, B22).

We also include two professional LED anti-flicker adapters (one per gang) that eliminate 99% of potential LED compatibility issues, ensuring smooth, flicker-free dimming throughout the entire 0-100% range.

 

What are the LED anti-flicker adapters and do I need them?

The LED anti-flicker adapters are professional-grade electronic components that optimize the electrical signal for LED dimming. They’re included free with your double dimmer (£12 value if purchased separately).

What they do:

• Eliminate flickering at low brightness levels
• Remove buzzing or humming sounds
• Smooth out the dimming curve for progressive adjustment
• Prevent “dead zones” where bulbs suddenly jump in brightness
• Ensure compatibility with 99% of dimmable LED bulbs

Do you need them? We strongly recommend using them with LED bulbs for the best performance. Installation is simple – connect each adapter near your light fittings (detailed instructions provided). They’re optional with halogen or incandescent bulbs.

 

Can I install this myself or do I need an electrician?

If you’re comfortable with basic DIY electrical work and have successfully replaced light switches before, you can install this yourself. The process is straightforward:

1. Switch off power at consumer unit
2. Remove existing switch
3. Connect four wires (two for each gang – detailed instructions provided)
4. Secure to back box
5. Attach glass panel
6. Install LED adapters near lights
7. Restore power

Important safety: You must be competent in basic electrical work. If you have any doubts, always hire a qualified electrician.

Under UK regulations, homeowners can replace existing switches like-for-like in most rooms. Professional installation typically takes 20-30 minutes and costs £40-70.

 

How do the touch controls work?

Each gang has three touch-sensitive buttons:

Up arrow (↑): Increases brightness. Tap for incremental brightening, or press and hold for continuous brightening until you release.

Sun/Dim symbol (☀): Quick press toggles lights on/off. This button also accesses advanced functions like setting dimming speed.

Down arrow (↓): Decreases brightness. Tap for incremental dimming, or press and hold for continuous dimming until you release.

The controls are highly responsive and intuitive – you’ll master them within seconds. Blue LED backlighting makes buttons visible in darkness.

 

Will this dimmer buzz or hum?

No. One of the most common complaints about cheap dimmers is audible buzzing or humming. Our double dimmer uses quality components specifically engineered to eliminate electrical noise.

With the included LED anti-flicker adapters installed, you should experience completely silent operation throughout the entire dimming range (0-100%). If you do notice any noise, it’s typically coming from the bulb itself (particularly with lower-quality LED bulbs) rather than the dimmer.

Using premium dimmable LED bulbs from reputable brands like Philips, Osram, or IKEA will ensure whisper-quiet performance.

 

Can I use this in a bathroom?

Yes, but location matters due to UK bathroom electrical regulations. Bathrooms are divided into zones based on proximity to water:

Safe for installation: Outside all bathroom zones (typically 60cm or more from bath/shower). In most UK bathrooms, switches are positioned on the wall near the door – this location is perfectly safe.

Not permitted: Inside zones 1, 2, or 3 (near, above, or around bath/shower).

If your bathroom has switches within a zone (uncommon in UK properties), consult a qualified electrician about proper placement or consider a pull-cord switch alternative.

 

What’s the difference between this and a smart dimmer?

Great question! Here’s the key comparison:

Double Dimmer Switch (This Product) – £49:

• 2 independent zones/circuits
• Touch panel control at the wall
• No neutral wire required ✅
• No apps, WiFi, or setup needed
• Ultra-reliable (simple electronics)
• Works instantly, always
• Perfect for kitchens, multi-zone rooms

Smart WiFi Dimmer – £32.90:

• 1 circuit only
• Touch control + smartphone app + voice (Alexa/Google)
• Neutral wire required
• Requires WiFi setup and app installation
• Remote control from anywhere
• Scheduling and automation features
• Perfect for tech enthusiasts, single rooms

Choose the Double Dimmer if: You need to control 2 separate lighting zones/rooms, don’t have a neutral wire, or prefer simple, reliable control without apps.

Choose Smart WiFi if: You have 1 room/zone but want smartphone and voice control with automation features.

 

Does this work with LED strip lights?

It can work with LED strips, but compatibility depends on the specific LED strip and its power supply.

Compatible: LED strips with dimmable drivers/power supplies that respond to mains voltage dimming (relatively uncommon).

Not compatible: LED strips with non-dimmable power supplies, or those requiring 0-10V dimming signals (most LED strips fall into this category).

Best practice: This dimmer is optimized for standard dimmable LED bulbs (E27, GU10, E14 fittings). For LED strip lighting, we recommend using a dedicated LED strip dimmer controller designed specifically for that application.

If you’re unsure about your LED strips, check with the manufacturer or test with a small section before full installation.

 

Can each gang be a different colour/finish?

No, the double dimmer comes as one unified glass panel in a single finish (White, Black, or Grey). Both gangs share the same colour, which creates the elegant, cohesive appearance that makes it superior to two separate switches.

This unified design is one of the key aesthetic advantages – it looks intentional and sophisticated rather than like a patchwork of different switches.

 

What if one zone needs more capacity than 700W?

If a single zone exceeds 700W of LED lighting (very uncommon in domestic settings – that’s 70+ standard LED bulbs), you have several options:

Option 1: Split the load across both gangs if possible. For example, in a very large kitchen, control half the ceiling spots on gang 1 and half on gang 2.

Option 2: Use multiple dimmers. For exceptionally large installations (commercial spaces, very large homes), install multiple double dimmers to distribute the load.

Option 3: Consider whether all lights truly need dimming. Some can be on separate non-dimmed switches whilst others are dimmed.

For 99% of UK domestic applications, 700W per gang is more than sufficient. A typical kitchen with 12 LED spots uses only 60-120W total.

 

How long is the warranty and what does it cover?

Every double dimmer switch includes a comprehensive 1-year manufacturer warranty covering:

• Manufacturing defects
• Electronic component failures
• Touch panel malfunctions
• Any fault arising from normal use

The warranty doesn’t cover:

• Damage from incorrect installation
• Use with incompatible bulbs (non-dimmable LEDs)
• Physical damage or water ingress from misuse

Additionally, we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you’re not completely satisfied for any reason, return the dimmer within 30 days for a full refund.

 

Can I return it if it doesn’t work with my lighting?

Absolutely. We offer a no-quibble 30-day money-back guarantee. If the dimmer doesn’t work with your existing setup, isn’t compatible with your bulbs, or you’re simply not satisfied, return it within 30 days for a full refund.

However, please note: The dimmer works with dimmable LED bulbs only. If you’re experiencing issues, first check that your bulbs are marked as “DIMMABLE”. Non-dimmable LEDs won’t work correctly with any dimmer switch – that’s a bulb limitation, not a dimmer fault.

We’re always happy to provide technical support to help troubleshoot any installation or compatibility questions before you consider returning.
