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 touch sensitive and remote controlled, meaning to operate it without a remote control, with a quick touch of the circular disc turns the dimmer on or off, whilst a longer touch makes the brightness increase or decrease. For touch control, the dimmer works on skin resistance. When using the remote control, aim at the infra red dimmer, with similar technique to touching. Once a button is assigned on the remote to work the dimmer (as shown in the Remote Handset instruction manual) a quick touch of a button and the dimmer turns on and off; Whilst a long touch increases and decreases the brightness. ………………………………………….. This dimmer is a Master dimmer. One Master dimmer is required per circuit and if the circuit is 2 or more way, then V-Pro IR Slave dimmers must be used for the additional switch/dimmer locations, as normal on/off (rocker or impulse) switches cannot be used in conjunction with this type of dimmer. All our dimmers have the newest software that’s available, whenever Varilight creates an update, they update the software in our dimmer stocks too. ………………………………………….. The VARILIGHT V-Pro IR Touch and Remote Dimmer Series has been designed to dim a range of different fittings: – Most good quality dimmable LEDs – Mains voltage incandescent GLS or candle-shaped bulbs – Good quality dimmable electronic Low Voltage Transformers, including those requiring trailing edge control – GU10 or similar good quality mains and Eco halogen bulbs ………………………………………….. Summary of V-Pro IR Compatibility (Per Dimmer Module) 1 Gang Dimmers – 10 dimmable LED lamps (maximum of 100W) – 100 Watts max of Incandescent lamps – 100 Watts max of mains, Eco and low voltage halogen lamps – 100 Watts max of Low Voltage LED [use default mode 1 only] – This dimmer series will NOT dim CFLs. ………………………………………….. V-Pro IR Series dimmer switches are trailing edge by default, Mode 1, this versatile mode is suitable for most dimmable LEDs and is also gentler on the load. Some types of dimmable LED perform best with leading-edge control, Mode 2. Mode 3 is suitable for some external LED drivers. The driving modes can be easily changed by following the instructions under Programming as shown in the dimmer instructions manual. ………………………………………….. 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-Pro IR Dimmer Series features scene setting and zonal lighting which can be operated by a Universal Remote handset, such as Varilight’s YRE8. ………………………………………….. The V-Pro IR Series were primarily designed for Dimmable LEDs, the dimmers, with a minimum load of 0 Watts and maximum load of 100 watts, can operate at least 1-10 of the majority of quality dimmable LEDs on the market, it works especially well with the manufacturers, Megaman , and Mark Lighting . They are also suitable for halogen and incandescent lighting, most dimmable electronic transformers, with no minimum load, especially Varilight’s transformers and are suitable for dimmable low energy lighting. ………………………………………….. Limitations Please note V-Pro IR 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 transformersor alternatively for Fan applications choose a V-Dim Solid State Series dimmer, please check with manufacturer of appliance to be dimmed. ………………………………………….. Some ‘dimmable’ LED lamps are not designed for electronic dimmer switches and may remain illuminated even when a dimmer switch is turned off. This can be corrected using one Varilight LEDFix (GLOWfix) load regulator per circuit, also known as YAGF-P. ………………………………………….. Please choose the V-Pro Series to work with more than 10 LEDs (look for High Power V-Pro models) or V-Com Series which can also dim more than 10 LEDs in a circuit, and is especially good and for dimming lighting panels such as LED or CFL. We have some other LED dimmers that may be of interest, Multi-Point Remote , or Multi-Point Touch. Although these are of UK design, they still can be installed elsewhere in the world by obtaining the correct Wall box. ………………………………………….. These Dimmers are not suitable for Triac compatibility LED dimming, for this type of dimming, choose the V-Com Series. ………………………………………….. 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.
