The module footprint is about 22 mm wide by 36 mm high, with an installation depth around 48 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn board, this is a practical choice for fine-tuning cabin or saloon lighting on an AC circuit fed by shore power or an inverter. It is not a 12 V or 24 V DC dimmer, and it is intended for resistive loads and magnetic transformers rather than electronic drivers unless the specific load is confirmed compatible with this dimming type.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e120 V AC, 50-60 Hz rotary dimmer control for AC lighting circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoad range: 30-500 W incandescent and halogen lamps; 30-300 VA ferromagnetic transformers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotary potentiometer control with a locator\/indicator visible in darkness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse in dry, low-dust spaces with ambient temperature from -5 C to +35 C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo radio interference suppression filter built in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo mechanical isolation in the main circuit, so the load side should be treated as live unless the circuit is fully disconnected upstream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermoplastic body with matte white finish (RAL 9001) for a clean match to classic interior panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis dimmer is part of the LINEA Classica device system, so it is meant to be paired with the correct LINEA Classica mounting hardware and cover plate for a finished installation. It is sized for flush mounting in a suitable wall or panel box and is commonly used in interior switch panels where you want lighting control at the point of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePay attention to minimum and maximum connected load. With a 30 W or 30 VA minimum, very small lighting loads may not behave correctly, especially when dimmed low.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dimmer installs in series with the load on a 120 V AC circuit. It can be used in common switching arrangements so long as the wiring method matches the circuit type and stays within the unit rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen used with a ferromagnetic transformer, the dimmer connects on the transformer primary and the secondary load should remain connected. Transformer buzz around mid-dimming is normal for this load type. Avoid placing more than one dimmer in the same box and keep the unit away from direct heat sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse appropriately sized conductors for the connected load and tighten terminal connections fully to prevent overheating. For any AC work on a vessel, isolate power at the breaker and follow marine electrical best practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMarine placement notes\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis unit is intended for dry, low-dust spaces, which generally means interior cabins, enclosed salons, or protected helm areas. For open cockpits or locations that see spray or washdowns, mount it inside a sheltered panel or enclosure so salt air and moisture are kept off the device and wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeave enough room behind the panel for cable routing and strain relief so vibration does not work the conductors loose over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis dimmer is a good fit for boats already using Vimar LINEA Classica devices on 120 V AC circuits and running incandescent, halogen, or magnetic-transformer lighting. It is commonly used to bring down cabin lighting at night to reduce glare while still keeping enough light for moving around and reading charts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vimar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269546340533,"sku":"QBP879948","price":63.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1300366_qbp879948.jpg?v=1771544536","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp879948","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
