What is a grid lighting system

[HMM91]

Hi

Ok I am a bit of a novice and need some basic advice I am trying to get my head around lighting and want to know what is a grid lighting system? How would you recognize a grid system and how does it differ from a normal system. I am looking at grid dimmer switches for LEDs and getting confused between normal dimmer switches a grid switches?

Thanks in advance

A grid switch is a modular means of arranging many switches.

This means you can mix regular switches, DP switches, dimmers and key switches all in the same switch plate.

I install these a lot and love them ever so much and very dearly so.

Best thing since sliced bread and other things that claim to be.

grid switch is where a variety of individual switches etc can be mounted on one faceplate. E.g. if you need a 2-way switch, an intermediate switch, and two neons, on the same faceplate. Different manufacturers' ranges are not compatible.

Dunno what grid lighting is unless it's to do with suspended ceilings.

That would be my "guess". Laid out in a regular pattern, like a grid.

That's more commonly known as modular light fittings.
