VARILIGHT Dimmer Switches have an industry-wide reputation for exceptional performance, long life and innovation at attractive prices. ………………………………………….. The VARILIGHT V-Dim Series Dimmer, like all our products, is designed to meet the latest European Safety Legislation. ………………………………………….. It is important to select the correct dimmer switch for your application, so please read the following information carefully, if need be look at PDF manuals, and if you are still unsure, then contact us. ………………………………………….. Appearance, Function and Applications This dimmer is rotary controlled, meaning to turn the dimmer on, the knob needs to be turned clockwise, a click will be heard from the dimmer and the brightness will increase, respectively, by turning anti-clockwise the brightness will diminish and the click from the dimmer means the dimmer is off. ………………………………………….. V-Dim Rotary dimmers are suitable for 1 way circuits only. ………………………………………….. The V-Dim Series Standard Dimmers are Leading Edge and can be used with mains voltage lighting and good quality Low Voltage Electronic Transformers, mains incandescent GLS lamps (standard mains light bulbs), up to the maximum load as specified on the dimmer, GU10 or similar Hi Spot Mains Halogen lamps (only use quality UK supplied lamps) up to the maximum load as shown in the PDF instruction manual. ………………………………………….. When using Electronic Low Voltage Transformers we recommend that a maximum of 5 good quality dimmable Electronic Transformers are used (10 if Varilight Transformers ) with this dimmer range. Please note: add the watts of the bulbs/lamps if using Varilight Transformers, to determine which wattage of dimmer to select, but if using another manufacturer of Transformer, add up the VA of the Transformers so it does not exceed the maximum of the dimmer. Please note that noise levels can depend on the quality of the Transformer being used. ………………………………………….. Limitations The best suited dimmer series for dimming Electronic Low Voltage Transformers, including dimming more than 5 Transformers, is the V-Plus Series , which has many features including Overload Protection; Soft Start which is gentler on the load; and Dimmer Buzz Elimination, that can be created from the transformers. ………………………………………….. The V-Dim Series are NOT suitable for use with wire wound Transformers. For Rotary dimming of Halogen Lamps (choose V-Plus Series ) or Fans (choose V-Dim Solid State Series ) and other inductive loads. Please check with manufacturer of appliance to be dimmed. ………………………………………….. These dimmers will NOT dim LEDs, if dimming LEDs choose either the V-Pro , Multi-Point Remote , Multi-Point Touch , or V-Com Dimmer Series. …………………………………………..
