This is a 3kW, British made infra-red dimmer switch for turning on/off and adjusting the heat output of your infra-red heaters.
The high-quality 3kW switch also provides surge protection, which is especially useful if your heaters are short-wave infra-red with their typical power surge on starting up.
The dimmer switch is simple to operate by turning the knob from the minimum (off) setting through to the maximum (100%) power and adjusting the power input means that the heat output is also adjusted. The switch has a nice simple design and is easy to install for any competent electrician.
