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?

Hello everyone, this is a bit older here but I'll give it a try anyway. I would like to connect a regular dimmer to dim the omlopp lights under the kitchen wall cabinets. Without the Ikea remote control. The transformer is connected directly to the light switch. So, without the original transformer's switch. Currently through a light switch. But I would like to replace it with a stepless dimmer. Any ideas? Regards, Ralf
