VARILIGHT® Intelligent Leading-Edge Dimmers (V-Plus)
Our intelligent leading-edge dimmers have a push-on/push-off switch action and rotary dimming. They are suitable for mains lighting and most dimmable electronic transformers.
Controlled by a micro-processor, they offer sophisticated overload protection. This means that if you mistakenly connect your dimmer to too many lights or transformers it will protect itself from failure by turning the lights down or off until the load is corrected.
When selecting a push-on/push-off intelligent leading-edge dimmer to control mains lighting add up the wattages of the bulbs you wish to dim. For low voltage lighting add up the the ratings of the transformers you wish to dim.
For best results with low voltage lighting use VARILIGHT intelligent dimmer switches with VARILIGHT electronic transformers. There is no limit on the number of transformers you can use as long as you keep within the maximum rating of the dimmer.
You can only use one push-on/push-off dimmer switch in a 2-way circuit. It must be used in conjunction with a normal switch.
Our intelligent leading-edge dimmers are micro-processor controlled offering superior overload protection.
Please refer to our dimmer selection guide for recommendations on which dimmer to choose for your application.
For dimmable LEDs we recommend our V-Pro range. We do not recommend using our V-Plus range for dimmable LEDs (even if de-rated as suggested by some manufacturers' advice).
