    Hi all,
    I have 1 dim set L5508D1AP, now I want to switch dim function on L5508D1AP to on/off mode to control led lights (I'm using C-Bus toolkit software ver 1.15.9). Anyone have any idea, please help me. My project is very urgent.
    Thanks everyone!

    You don't change the L5508D1AP, it is always a dimmer. You have to change the switches controlling the dimmer. Open the switch in toolkit and change the function for the key from dimmer to on/off. Note that the L5508 is a leading edge dimmer and doesn't play nicely with many (mainly cheap) led lights. You may get flashing from the led when the dimmer is off. There are ways to fix this though.

    Tks you, but my project uses only 1 set of L55081AP to communicate about hotel room controller. On/off via normal push-release button. I want the light to switch to on/off function without dimming anymore :(

    Sorry, I don't understand what you are saying. What switches are you using to control the dimmer? Are they Cbus switches or some third party switches?

    You can also set the minimum levels in the dimmer to 100% for each channel. This means that any level > 0 will set the output to 100%.

    That's right, it's a 3rd party switch (normal push-release switch). I do not use the switch of C-Bus here, but only 1 set of PC5500 and 1 set of L5508D1AP. Regarding On/Off problem I used another way but I am having technical problems of C-BUS:
    1. C-BUS always has 220V power when not connected to lights?
    2. Dim time cannot be changed
    3. There are lights that can't be dimmed to 0%

    I don't use the switch of C-BUS. I'm using a regular switch

    So how is the switch controlling the dimmer? Are you doing it via the 5500? If so, what is controlling this?

    Setting the dimmer minimum levels might be the simplest solution.
