Overview

The Evolve 2 Gang 2 Way Dimmer Switch in Satin Brass offers independent touch dimming for two separate lighting circuits from a single, elegant wall plate. Each of the two gangs features its own touch-sensitive surface, allowing you to tap on/off and touch-and-hold to dim each light separately – perfect for open-plan living areas where you want pendant lights over a dining table dimmed low while keeping task lighting brighter elsewhere. Rated at 200W per gang, this trailing-edge dimmer works quietly and smoothly with dimmable LEDs, halogen, and incandescent bulbs. The 2-way functionality means each gang can also be controlled from a second location (e.g., from the kitchen entrance and the living room door), giving you true flexibility.

Despite housing two independent dimmers, the unit measures just H:86mm x W:86mm – the same footprint as a standard single gang switch. This compact design fits a standard UK back box, making it an ideal upgrade for busy family kitchens, home cinemas, or master bedrooms where you need separate lighting moods without cluttering your walls with multiple dimmers. The satin brass finish resists fingerprints, while the screwless faceplate clips on for a flush, seamless look.

Why Choose This Evolve 2 Gang Touch Dimmer Switch?

Choosing this Evolve 2-gang dimmer means you can replace two separate 1-gang dimmers (or one double dimmer with unsightly knobs) with a single, sophisticated touch plate. The warm satin brass finish adds a boutique-hotel feel to any room, while the intuitive touch controls are a pleasure to use – no more fumbling for small rotary dials. With 2-way capability on each gang, you can install this dimmer at one end of a long living room and a compatible switch or second dimmer at the other end, controlling both lighting zones from either entry point. For homeowners who value both style and smart functionality, this dimmer delivers independent, multi-location control without compromise.

Technical Specifications

FAQs

1. Can I use one gang for dimming and the other as a standard on/off switch?
No. Both gangs are fully functional dimmers. If you only need one dimmer and one standard switch, you would need to install a separate 1-gang dimmer and a 1-gang switch. This product is designed for two independent dimming circuits.

2. How do I wire this for 2-way dimming on both gangs?
Each gang has its own set of terminals (L, L1, L2). For 2-way control of light A, connect this dimmer's gang 1 to a compatible 2-way switch or second dimmer at the other location. Repeat separately for gang 2 and light B. A qualified electrician is strongly recommended for dual 2-way dimmer circuits.

3. Will this fit my existing back box if I currently have two separate 1-gang dimmers?
No – two separate 1-gang dimmers require a 2-gang back box (approx 146mm wide). This product fits a single gang back box (86mm wide). You would need to replace the back box or use a surface pattress. Check your existing plate width before ordering.

4. Can I use this dimmer with low-voltage LED strip lights?
Yes, provided the LED driver is dimmable and compatible with trailing edge dimmers. Many LED strip drivers require leading edge or PWM dimming. Always check your driver's specification. If unsure, use a dedicated LED strip dimmer instead.

5. The touch controls feel too sensitive – can I adjust sensitivity?
No, the sensitivity is factory-set for optimal response with a bare finger. Wearing thick gloves or using a fingernail may not register. For less sensitivity or different behaviour, you would need a different dimmer model. This design prioritises sleek, flush aesthetics over customisable sensitivity.
