Hi! I am currently also dealing with the Omlopp light, so here are a few notes.
The design of the Omlopp remote control is almost a crime and the price is incomprehensibly high. However, the Omlopp light can only be dimmed via remote control using official Ikea means.
Of course, it is possible to connect a (e.g. borrowed) remote control, dim the light, and from then on only turn it on via a cable switch (on the cable between the socket and the transformer), then the light always turns on at the dimmed level, and the remote control could theoretically then be returned. Personally, I find the two light levels quite practical, so I will probably live with the ugly remote control for now
It is also possible to connect the transformer supply line via a wall switch, provided you have expertise. If the cable switch and the remote control are no longer operated, the light can then be turned on or off via the wall switch.
The question remains whether the Omlopp lighting can be dimmed differently than by remote control. Does anyone have any new insights on this?
