V-Com is our best-value range of programmable intelligent dimmers, featuring a push-on/push-off switch action with rotary dimming. Designed for LED lighting loads requiring leading-edge (triac) control, V-Com dimmers are available in load options from 0W-100W, 15W-180W, 15W-220W, 20W-400W and 40W-600W.
For loads requiring trailing-edge control, always choose a V-Pro series dimmer, available in 0W-120W and 0W-300W options.
- 100W to 600W
- of dimmable LED per gang (the 0-100W model has no minimum load)
- Triac
- dimmable drivers are suitable
- 1 per circuit
- in 2-way circuits, an ordinary switch at the other end
- 25mm
- minimum box depth (35mm for Ultraflat and Screwless)
Key features
- Smooth LED dimming technology: optimised for the best possible dimming performance for a given load.
- DRIVE function: aids initial start-up for lamps that otherwise will not switch on at low brightness settings.
- Adjustable minimum and maximum brightness: set the full dimming range your LED lamp is capable of delivering.
- Choice of driving modes: optimise dimming performance for any given LED lighting load.
- Child lock: prevents accidental entry into programming mode.
- Soft-start feature: reduces stress on LED lamps and extends lamp life.
- Intelligent overload protection: improves the lifespan of both LED lamps and the dimmer.
- Patented intelligent LED dimming technology: delivering reliable, consistent performance.
Available load ranges
- 0W-100W
- 15W-180W
- 15W-220W
- 20W-400W
- 40W-600W
Loads and wiring
- Suitable for dimmable LED lighting and quality dimmable electronic low-voltage transformers, including triac dimmable drivers.
- Not suitable for non-dimmable LED, fluorescent lamps or tubes, or electric motors (e.g. fans).
- For low-voltage lighting, count the transformer VA rating, not the bulb wattage, and match it closely to the lamp (e.g. 50 to 70VA for a 50W bulb).
- If overloaded, the dimmer switches itself off until the load is corrected.
- Three terminals per dimmer: C, L1 and L2. In 2-way circuits replace only one switch with a dimmer.
- Not sure whether your lamps need leading-edge or trailing-edge control? Check the lamp manufacturer's data sheet, or send us a message or email help@varilight.co.uk. For trailing-edge control, see the V-Pro series.
