# Controlling Non-Dimmable Lighting in the connect series range
**CONNECT SEREIS - using non dimmable lighting **

**Use a relay and Wire-free switch to control non-dimmable lamps**
You can still use Lightwave to control non dimmable lighting, but you need to take a slightly different approach by using a relay and wire-free switch instead of a dimmer.
Lightwave relays are designed to switch power or lighting circuits. They can be used to remotely control lighting circuits with loads that are too high for a Lightwave dimmer, or circuits that power non dimmable lamps or LED strip.
The LW821 In-line Relay can also be used to switch low voltage lighting. A relay needs to be installed in the lighting circuit wherever there is access to the live and neutral wires. They are designed to fit into small spaces such as a ceiling void, so usually this is relatively easy to do. Once the relay is installed, a wire-free switch can be linked to it and communicate wirelessly when pressed. These versatile switches look like dimmers, but can be positioned anywhere with sticky pads or screwed to a back box. You can also use a Mood controller in the same way.
