It is important to select the correct product for your application: For additional info, take a look at ‘Specs’ tab above and the Instruction Manuals on this page, if you need further help please contact us ………………………………………….. Appearance, Function and Applications This dimmer is push on/off and rotary controlled, meaning to turn the dimmer on or off simply push the dimmer knob in and it will click back out; then to turn the brightness up or down, rotate the knob clockwise and anti-clockwise. ………………………………………….. Varilight’s V-Com Series comprises of programmable intelligent dimmers. All V-Com dimmers offer smooth LED dimming technology to deliver the best possible dimming performance for a given load. V-Com dimmers are designed to control LED lighting loads requiring Leading Edge (Triac). ………………………………………….. There is a choice of driving modes to optimise the dimming performance of any given LED lighting load. V-Com dimmers feature Varilight’s new DRIVE function to aid initial start-up for lamps that otherwise will not switch on at low brightness settings. This feature, alongside adjustable minimum and maximum brightness settings, enable V-Com dimmers to provide the full range of brightness that a given LED lamp is capable of delivering; Some LEDs are set to a default minimum brightness which may be too bright, the dimmer can be easily adjusted so the minimum brightness of the LED is to your own desired setting. ………………………………………….. The V-Com Series are equipped with some intelligent features: Soft-Start Technology, allows a longer life span of the bulbs or lamps used by increasing the brightness level softly, which also creates a welcoming effect; Self Re-setting Overload Protection, so is able to handle overload situations, for example, if the wattage of the bulbs/lamps are accidentally too high on a circuit. This is achieved by either, stepping down the dimmer’s output to the lamps (if the watts are marginally overloaded), or the dimmer cuts out before there is any damage, (if the watts are grossly overloaded), until the load is reduced; Intelligent Thermal Protection which again stops damage to the dimmer, if it becomes too hot. ………………………………………….. With its patented intelligent LED dimming technology, V-Com is Varilight’s best value range for LED dimming. ………………………………………….. The V-Com Series can be used in the home as well as for Commercial Properties, Restaurants, Hotels, Bars, Pubs and Night Clubs, to name just a few applications. ………………………………………….. Ideal for dimming LED ceiling panels. ………………………………………….. They are suitable for most types of loads, although we sell less expensive dimmers to achieve dimming of non-LED loads. ………………………………………….. These Dimmers are suitable for Triac compatibility LED dimming. ………………………………………….. Works especially well with the manufacturers, Megaman , and Mark Lighting , and any of the LEDs that we sell. ………………………………………….. This Euro VariGrid product are part of a mix and match set that comprises of over 20+ different clip-in inserts, put together in your own configuration to create bespoke items. You have the ability, if required, to mix different colour face plates and inserts, to create your own unique blend of coolness in the home, office or anywhere. ………………………………………….. 2 Way Dimming The V-Com Series Push on/off Dimmers can be used in 2 way circuits (where one lighting circuit is controlled from two locations). In order to achieve 2 way switching, they must be paired with a standard 2 way switch in the other location. 3 way switching can be achieved by adding an intermediate switch in to the circuit. When using V-Com Series Push on/off Dimmers in a 2 or 3 way circuit the lights can only be dimmed from the location that the dimmer is situated in. ………………………………………….. Limitations Please note V-Com Dimmers are not suitable for use with wire-wound low voltage transformers, fans or inductive loads. Please choose 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 or alternatively for Fan applications choose V-Dim Solid State Series dimmer, please check with manufacturer of appliance to be dimmed. Unfortunately, as the internal size of a G4, G9 or any capsule LED lamp is relatively small, we have not found these to give a very good dimming range, we are looking into finding a suitable capsule LED solution that Varilight dimmers will work with, and will update this page accordingly. ………………………………………….. This product is not waterproof, therefore can not be used externally or in areas of moisture. ………………………………………….. Cleaning This product can be easily cleaned with a soft dry micro-fibre cloth. Never apply masking tape or other similar tape to the product. Avoid the use of any cleaning chemicals and always use a Gasket on freshly plastered, painted or damp walls as the plates may tarnish. (Plaster can take up to 6 months to dry out). A Gasket can be made from the packaging the product comes in, or a plastic bag can be cut to stop the plate touching the plaster. Unfortunately, if these Instructions are not followed, and the plate is damaged, it will void the product warranty. …………………………………………..
