Description

Description Varilight V-Com Series 2 Gang, 1 or 2 Way 2×15-180 Watt Push on/off Leading Edge LED Dimmer, on a Single Plate, Perfect for Multiple LEDs and LED Lighting Panels. You can load up to 20 LEDs per circuit (Dimming Module) as long as the lamps do not exceed 180 watts in total. ………………………………………….. VARILIGHT Dimmer Switches have an industry-wide reputation for exceptional performance, long life and innovation at attractive prices. ………………………………………….. The VARILIGHT V-Com 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 What paint can I use? – You can use any paint, which will give you a variety of finishes. How many coats will it typically take to finish them well? – Varilight recommend 3 coats for emulsion, which can be applied by brush or roller, and at least 1 coat for spray paint. Will these conform to British Standards? – All our products conform to the BSEN Standards. Can I remove the paint once painted – if so how? – You can’t remove the paint unless you’re confident in sanding it off with sandpaper or similar, but you can over-paint the plate if you decide to change your wall colour. Do I still get a warranty once painted? – Warranty is for the working parts of the accessories, but not on the finish that has been applied. What colour do they come unfinished? – They are a slightly creamy off white when they’re unfinished. ………………………………………….. 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 and also 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. ………………………………………….. Works especially well with the manufacturers, Megaman , and Mark Lighting , and any of the LEDs that we sell. ………………………………………….. > 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, if total dimming is preferred from many switched locations, in a 2, 3 or more way circuit then choose the Varilight Touch and Remote range of dimmers, in conjunction with Slave Dimmers. ………………………………………….. Limitations Varilight Dimmers can NOT be used for wire-wound or torroidal Transformers. For Fan applications choose V-Dim Solid State Series , please check with manufacturer of appliance to be dimmed. ………………………………………….. We have some other LED dimmers that may be of interest, Multi-Point Remote , or Multi-Point Touch. ………………………………………….. 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. …………………………………………..
