Combination Rotary Dimmers and Toggle Switches by Forbes & Lomax

Experience the perfect fusion of functionality and classic design with Forbes & Lomax's Combination Rotary Dimmer and Toggle Switches. This elegant solution merges the timeless charm of 1930s brass and nickel switch designs with modern practicality. Each set features a smoothly adjustable rotary dimmer alongside a straightforward toggle switch, delivering both ease of use and a refined aesthetic.

Designed for versatility, these combination switches cater to diverse lighting needs. The rotary dimmer is capable of managing up to 120 watts of LED lighting, ensuring smooth control over your lighting ambiance.

The robust toggle switches are available in both 3-way and single pole configurations, rated at 15 amps for reliable performance. Standard sets include 3-way Toggles, with the option to wire them as single-pole. Additionally, 4-way Toggles are available on request. It's important to note that in 3-way or 4-way circuits, dimming is possible from one location only, with the remaining switches functioning as non-dimming Toggles.

Toggles and Dimmers can be interchanged on the plates, allowing for customized configurations during installation to suit your specific needs.

To ensure the combination switch seamlessly integrates with your lighting system, we recommend providing your light specifications before purchase, especially for lights with higher wattages or unique requirements. This proactive step guarantees the switch operates effectively with your lighting setup.
