VARILIGHT Touch or Remote Control Dimmers

I would like to check that my Touch or Remote Control Dimmer is supposed to be warm to the touch

1. Your touch and remote dimmer is designed to run at a high temperature. It has over-temperature protection if the normal running temperature range is exceeded.

2. Even when the dimmer is off it may feel warm to the touch. This is because it remains on standby consuming about 2 watts of power (this costs less than 4 pence per week*).

3. The fire retardant material used to encase the electronics at the rear of the dimmer may show some discolouration when exposed to moderate temperatures and is expected in normal operation.

* Based on electricity charged at 11 pence per kWh
