App-controlled mood lighting: Theben universal dimmer DIMAX for LED lighting
(Haigerloch, 11 March 2016) With the universal dimmer DIMAX 544 plus, Theben present a dimmer for LED lighting that can be programmed using a mobile app. The free app for Android smartphones enables individual lighting scenarios to be conveniently programmed and transferred to DIMAX 544 via Near Field Communication (NFC).
When you're spending a nice evening with friends in a relaxed atmosphere, the right lighting is importent. With Theben's new universal dimmers DIMAX 542 plus and 544 plus, you can create lighting scenarios that enhance this relaxing ambiance at the push of a button. The DIMAX 544 plus dimmer can now be programmed using an app. This means that lighting scenarios, brightness values and other settings, such as the staircase light function or 2-button operation can be conveniently adjusted from your smartphone. The program is loaded onto the dimmer via NFC - wireless technology. This means that they only need to be fitted at the installation site, no fuss. Transmission also works for dimmers that have already been installed: simply put your smartphone in the place on the wall that the DIMAX is installed behind. At the same time, the short range provides maximum security against tampering and manipulation. Those who are not so comfortable with using mobile apps can also program DIMAX the conventional way, by adjusting the potentiometer with a screwdriver.
Greater scope of functions for customised settings
The DIMAX universal dimmer is ideally suited for retrofitting. If connections are already in place, DIMAX can be easily installed into existing junction boxes. Different settings allow for perfect reactions to varying LED lighting dimming responses. This can be with individually adjustable minimum brightness or a second setting for LEDs with leading edge. Allowing you to dim your LED lamps in a harmonic, continuous and reliable manner. Furthermore, the app makes it possible to select additional dimming curves for LEDs or fans.
Another highlight of the DIMAX is the "Wake-up and snooze function". Double-clicking the button gently dims the light in the evening. In the morning you are woken up by a light that gently gets brighter. Optional diode modules can store up to two lighting scenarios with individual brightness values. The special "staircase light" function turns the dimmer into a staircase light switch with a switch-off pre-warning: Before the light goes out, it is dimmed for a certain amount of time. This gives the user the chance to switch the light back on again and not suddenly find themselves in the dark. It is possible to set the dim-down level and time delay.
The Theben universal dimmer is available as DIMAX 544 plus with NFC and app-programming or DIMAX 542 plus without NFC. The free app for Android smartphones is available to download from the Google Play Store.
