Cone and knurled.

Cone profile

A clean geometric taper from knob to wall plate. Minimal in section, suited to spaces where Select is already the reference for restraint. Available in all 18 standard finishes.

Knurled profile

Finish combinations

Dimmer finishes. By frame.

Every dimmer finish is a plate finish paired with a knob finish. Original and Circum share one palette. Opera carries its own, including three finishes that exist nowhere else in the range. Peach and Mint are available on request. All finishes are made to order in Belgium.

Matching and contrasting. Matching means the plate and the cone are the same finish. Contrasting pairs a plate finish with a cone in a different tone, usually Textured Black. Either way it is one finish code. ◎ marks a finish available on request, so talk to us before you specify it.

Brass Knurl
Bronze Antique with Brass Knurl
A Bronze Antique plate with a Brass Knurl grip. Two warm antique metals in the same temperature range, with just enough tonal difference between the aged bronze and the brighter brass to give the knob depth.

Technology

Two technology variants.

One variant per dimmer, specified with the order. Both send a command rather than switching the load, so neither carries line voltage at the switch. There is no dry contact rotary: Crestron, Control4, Lutron HomeWorks, Savant, Vantage and RTI reach one through a gateway, Casambi or KNX IP. Cockpit carries the same cone and knurled knobs as a switch.

KNX

Control system

Any KNX system.

Installation

Nothing but the bus. Three potential free contact inputs. The dimming is in the device, not a panel actuator. 45mm minimum box depth.

Casambi

Control system

Casambi. The only wireless Lithoss, and its own network.

Installation

A non metal wallbox. Steel may interfere with the signal. Coin cell, so no wiring at the switch. 40mm minimum box depth.

US installation

Wallbox compatibility.

Original Dimmer
US double-gang · 84×84mm
The square frame. Mounts on a US double-gang box with a Lithoss mudring adapter.
Opera Dimmer
US single-gang · 84×117mm
The rectangular frame mounts vertical or horizontal, directly on a standard US single-gang box. No adapter required.
Circum Dimmer
European box · 88.5mm round
The round frame requires a European-standard box. We can source compatible boxes for US projects. Confirm with the AHJ before specifying.

Minimum box depth is set by the technology rather than the frame: 45mm for KNX, where the dimming hardware sits inside the device, and 40mm for Casambi. Fixing, wire gauge and terminal detail are in the wiring manuals.
