How do you find the right dimmer?
Finding the right dimmer for LED lighting can be a frustrating challenge. Many dimmers aren’t compatible with LEDs, causing flickering, buzzing, or limited dimming ranges. With so many options on the market, it can be tough to find a solution that works seamlessly without trial and error.As an electrician, ensuring smooth, flicker-free LED dimming is crucial, but finding the right dimmer can often feel like guesswork. That’s where Zano has made a real difference. Here's what Ian Mills, a working electrician, has to say:
“I am a working electrician and had a problem with dimming LED lighting. The salesman at a wholesaler pointed me in the direction of Zano and I have never looked back.
The quality of their products, the reliability and the ease with which they can be installed makes them my first choice all the time.
Their grid dimmers come with a multitude of adaptors for different plates as an example of how they have thought of everything.
I am 100% confident in using these products I know I will never get a call back from a customer.”

The importance of Smart Settings
When installing LED dimmers, Smart Settings, like adjusting the minimum level and introducing a boost feature, are essential for ensuring reliable performance. Setting the minimum level prevents flickering or drop-out by ensuring LEDs don't dip below their functional range. The boost setting provides an initial surge of power, ensuring lamps turn on seamlessly every time, even if they're dimmed to very low levels. Together, these features help create a smooth, consistent dimming experience and eliminate common issues with LED lighting.At Zano, we have worked hard to ensure that all our dimmers have Smart Settings built-in - not only are they easy to program but they also eradicate 90% of common LED dimming problems.
What do our customers have to say?
“Fantastic dimmers. Work a charm on all sorts of lighting projects! Easy to install and Smart Settings make them really easy to program.”

What makes a good LED dimmer?
A fantastic LED dimmer stands out for its compatibility, precision, and user-friendly features. It must be designed specifically for LED loads, ensuring flicker-free performance across a wide dimming range. Key qualities include Smart Settings, like minimum level adjustments and boost functions, for seamless lamp activation - even at low levels. It should offer simple installation and adaptability to different plate styles, along with reliable performance that prevents issues like buzzing or flickering. A great LED dimmer also provides smooth control, long-term durability, and peace of mind with no callbacks from customers.
At Zano, we have worked hard to achieve this as standard across our dimming ranges.
Don’t just take our word for it.
“Great dimming modules, the best on the market IMO. Good customer service as well.”
