VARILIGHT® Intelligent Trailing-Edge Dimmers (V-Pro)
 |
Ideal for good quality dimmable LEDs. |
Our intelligent trailing-edge dimmers have a push-on/push-off switch action and rotary dimming. They are suitable for mains lighting, most dimmable electronic transformers and with a 10W minimum load are suitable for dimmable low energy lighting, including many dimmable LEDs (Philips MasterLED and Toshiba brands are particularly recommended).
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 trailing-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. VARILIGHT electronic transformers are suitable for controlling 12V a.c. rated LEDs (MR16).
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 trailing-edge dimmers offer superior dimming technology which is gentler on the load.
Please refer to our dimmer selection guide for recommendations on which dimmer to choose for your application.
