INSTEON SwitchLinc Dimmer - The Best-Selling Remote-Controllable Dimmer
Fill your entire home with personalized mood lighting for any occasion. This dimmer can do it all: you can dim or brighten it manually by holding the paddle directly or you can add it to a whole home scene where all your lights turn off with the press of a single button. The INSTEON SwitchLinc Dimmer has 32 brightness levels, which makes setting your lights to the perfect intensity very easy. This dimmer switch can control incandescent loads; if you need to control a fluorescent light fixture, or a non-dimmable appliance, try the INSTEON SwitchLinc Relay (Non-Dimming).

How many times have you jumped into bed and forgotten to turn the lights off? With the SwitchLinc Dimmer's remote control ability, you can have the convenience of adding a bedside controller to turn off your lights after you get into bed. The SwitchLinc Dimmer can control up to a 600-watt load. If a larger load is required, the SwitchLinc Dimmer (High Wattage) is available.

New! Etched Labeling Now Available (click here to see all etching options)


Note: As with all wall dimmers, the SwitchLinc may feel warm during operation. Rigorously tested and approved to UL-standards, the amount of heat generated falls well within approved limits and poses no threat to your home or the lifespan of the device.

Neutral wiring is required. Do I have neutrals?

    Easy To Install
    The INSTEON SwitchLinc Dimmer is so easy to install and set up, and yet so affordable, you'll want to replace all your switches with SwitchLinc Dimmers. Just remove the old switch, reattach the line, load, and ground wires with the addition of the neutral wire using the included wire nuts, and you're done. If this is your first INSTEON installation, the best way to purchase a SwitchLinc Dimmer is to buy the complete INSTEON Keypad Dimmer Scene Lighting Starter Kit. It includes everything required to set up your INSTEON network, including two SwitchLinc Dimmers, a pair of INSTEON Access Points to ensure INSTEON network reliability, and the KeypadLinc Dimmer. Learn more about INSTEON here.

    Custom-Etched Paddle Available
    For the ultimate in personalization, the SwitchLinc Dimmer is available with a custom-etched paddle. Ideal for labeling switches in a multi-gang setup, custom etching allows you to identify at a glance which switch controls which load.

    Slim Design
    Similar dimmers are up to 50 percent deeper than the SwitchLinc Dimmer. Thanks to its slim design, it makes installation easy even in small junction boxes. If you'd rather have your SwitchLinc installed by a professional, click here to find a local INSTEON certified dealer.

    Beautiful, High-Quality Construction
    Unlike other switches, the SwitchLinc Dimmer offers the natural feel of high-end dimmers. You'll love the crisp, tactile response with each touch instead of the mushy feeling of other brands. The SwitchLinc Dimmer is designed and manufactured to high-end specifications and goes through over 10 quality control tests before arriving at your doorstep. This modern Decora-style switch will blend with any room's design. White paddles are included with each SwitchLinc Dimmer, but additional paddle colors are available and sold separately. Choose the color that best suits your room's decor: Ivory, Almond, Black, Brown, or Grey. Two paddles are included in each color-change set. Don't forget to order a matching wall plate. If you prefer, you can purchase your SwitchLinc with the color already changed: The INSTEON SwitchLinc Dimmer is available in Ivory, Almond, Black, Brown, and Grey.

    Scene Lighting
    Scenes allow you to control multiple lights, rooms or even the whole home with a single command. Because the SwitchLinc Dimmer 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. These are elegant features usually found only in systems costing tens of thousands of dollars and requiring extensive rewiring of your home. All 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. If you want to control multiple scenes from one controller, upgrade to the INSTEON KeypadLinc Dimmer. Looking for other ways to use the SwitchLinc Dimmer? Check out Smarthome's Learning Center.

    X10 Compatible
    The INSTEON SwitchLinc 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 commands from an X10 controller and it can send X10 commands to X10 devices. Please note that INSTEON devices repeat INSTEON signals but not X10.

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

    Certifications and Warranty
    All SwitchLinc products are safety approved. The factory for SmartLabs Design Products is ISO9001 certified. Because of this passion for quality, Smarthome stands behind the entire SwitchLinc line of products with a full 2-year warranty.

    "works great love it" - JASON - SOUTHBRIDGE, MA
    "Great product, had some initial difficulties but I believe it has to do with installing the phase coupler I purchased. I'll find out tomorrow when the electrician is here." - MICHAEL - LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ
    "These Insteon dimmers work very well. I currently have 21 of these installed in my home, in addition to several other hard-wired and plug-in Insteon devices. They never miss a command. Many are linked into 3-way and 4-way scenarios, plus controlled by a home automation panel, and they always operate correctly. My wife appreciates the LED bar-graph indicators. She says its “easy to see which one is on” on the multi-gang switch boxes. I do have a few cautions though. First, they do not appear to have very good voltage regulation. On lower light settings, I see considerably more flicker than non-Insteon dimmers. Plus on low light level settings they flicker when Insteon commands are being sent out by other devices in the home. Second, the length of the wire leads is too short (about 6”). Try installing a few of these in a four gang switch box and you’ll get the idea. Instead of being able to tie all of the whites and blacks directly to the feed, you’ll need to wire-nut another 6” of wire onto the dimmer’s wires, then connect those to the feed.
