Thanks for that information Andrew, very useful.

EDIT: So we've agreed to replace the ACT switch with the Duwi one - Ivor Atkins from http://www.uk-automation.co.uk/ has been nothing but extremely helpful and understanding.

Have not yet heard any response back from ACT regarding this issue.

Kooma, are you in the UK? Ivor says that they will be selling these Duwi dimmers soon, at a "similar" price to the ACT ones, and we have it on good authority that they are of a decent quality. Maybe consider using these over the ACT ones regardless of what ACT say (if anything). Piccies below...







Well I would definitely say the Duwi is better built and in our experience much more reliable so that is very good news indeed.

All the best

I've received the Duwi, it's in, and working well. I would agree that it looks and feels to be a better quality product when compared with the ACT one.

Thank you all.
