CNBINGO Single Dimmer Switch for LED Lights, Black Touch Light Switch, No Neutral Wire Required, Tempered Glass Panel with LED Backlight, 1-Gang 1-Way, AC 240V 500W

Looks great and works well
We replaced the light fitting in our dining room and then decided that the old rocker switch that had been there since the house was built could now do with a serious update . Enter this high tech touch light dimmer switch . It was very well packed and looked amazing. It took a little while to glance at the instruction leaflet but to be honest it was straightforward enough.It comes in three separate sections there is the actual electrical component, the mounting plate and the face plate . Fitting was a simple process the only concern was that the back box would be deep enough to hold the switch gear, it was and therefore fitting took less than 5 mins . The only mistake I made was to fit the mounting / wall plate the wrong way round but once that was re fitted it was easy. Once wired and the mounting plate screwed to the wall all of the other parts are click fitted onto this wall plate , this requires quite a bit of force so be brave and push hard . Now it’s on it looks fab and works really well . I would say that it is fairly good value for money although I wish I had gone for a wifi compatible switch now . No doubt I will be replacing the switches in my kitchen and lounge very shortly

Touch Sensitive Dimmer
Product was pretty easy to install and the instructions are OK. I used this dimmer for a chandelier with multiple LED lights, so I did not need the supplied LED adaptor as combined, it took the lights way past the minimum 4w power requirements for the dimmer to work properly.The hardest part to fitting the dimmer was pushing the faceplate onto the bracket. I honestly thought it was going to break whilst trying to click it into place, but it eventually clicked into place. This is why it got 4 instead of 5 stars on installation. May of just been me though.The Dimmer itself works well and looks cool and modern. It WILL take you a while to get used to how it works though. Being touch sensitive, it has a few quirks, such as if you long touch the sensor it will start to grow dimmer or brighter, but this is a learning curve, not a product fault as you must learn to just lightly and quickly touch the sensor for it to turn on at the previous “memorised” setting. You’ll get used to it eventually.Overall, I like this switch and it looks and feels good quality.

For me, a non-starter
Pleased for all those people who gave it five stars. But for me it’s definitely a total fail. I bought two gang model with two switches on the face plate. The inner control unit simply would not fit onto the Metal plate. After an hour of sliding it around and trying to force it into approximately the right position, I just settled for as good as it could get. But when I put on the glass front, it did not work. I could see a blue glow from the inner unit but no control from the glass plate.

Tricky assembly, stopped working shortly after
Firstly couldn’t get the actual metal back plate to clip onto the control module. It’s impossible, so you just have to push it back against the module and manouvre the module with your fingers and hope it aligns with the glass touch panel once you clip it on. However, if you flip the metal plate backwards, it DOES clip to the control module, I did this at first and then realised it wouldn’t clip onto the glass plate. So in other words, the metal back plate clips onto to the front and the back.. from the front. That has to be a design error.Another annoying thing, the only way to take the glass panel off is by prying it off with a screwdriver, hence damaging and scatching it in my case. Why does it need to clip on? Why can’t it just slide on gracefully from the top, ie slide down to close, slide up to release.Anyway, as I was opening/closing it/trying to get it assembled, it stopped working compltely, I had to reopen it and check connections, then it lit up again… great… closed it up, not working. Then it wouldn’t work at all, despite me playing around with the wires, I gave up. All the connections were fine, so I returned it and don’t intend on getting a replacement. Even if I could get it to work, I found the assembly process such a pain since the thing doesn’t even clip on.

Installé début janvier 2023, à super bien fonctionné jusqu’à il y a une semaine, le tactique ne fonctionne plus, heureusement la commande via l’app fonctionne.. assez gênant au bout de 3 mois d’utilisation !

Bien
