Product Description

AC Light Lamp Dimming and Motor Dimmer Module

Phase-Control Dimmer for Incandescent Lights and AC Motors

This AC dimmer module uses phasecut control to regulate power delivered to incandescent lamps, dimmable LEDs, and AC motors, making it ideal for smart lighting, fan speed control, and home automation projects. Its optocouplerisolated design and microcontroller-friendly logic allow safe interfacing with Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi.

MicrocontrollerCompatible 3.3V/5V logic level with optocoupler isolation for safety [citation:1][citation:4]
High Power Handling Supports loads up to 400W2000W and 8A-16A depending on the module model [citation:1][citation:7][citation:10]
AC Input: 110V or 220V at 50/60Hz
Load Types: Incandescent lamps, dimmable LEDs, AC motors, heating elements
Isolation: Optocoupler-based for microcontroller protection
Package Includes: Dimmer module and pin headers (software and cables not included)
Use RBDdimmer.h library in Arduino IDE for easy control [citation:1][citation:7]

Wiring and Usage Tips

Safe connection guide:

  1. Connect AC mains (live and neutral) to AC-IN terminals
  2. Connect dimmable load (lamp or motor) to AC-OUT terminals
  3. Connect VCC to 3.3V or 5V from microcontroller
  4. Connect GND to microcontroller ground
  5. Connect PWM/Signal pin to a PWM-capable MCU pin

For zero-cross synchronization, some modules require a separate connection to a hardware interrupt pin [citation:4]. The RBDdimmer library handles this automatically [citation:7].

Use a fuse for added protection
Non-dimmable LEDs are not compatible and may be damaged
Disconnect from AC before wiring

## Troubleshooting
