FAQs

What type of dimming does this switch use?

This Varilight V-Com switch uses leading-edge dimming technology (TRIAC).

Can I use this switch with any LED bulb?

No, this switch is specifically designed for dimmable LED lamps that are compatible with leading-edge dimming. Always check your LED bulb's specifications and Varilight's compatibility recommendations.

What is the maximum load this dimmer can handle?

The switch supports a total load of up to 400W.

What does '2-Way' functionality mean?

2-Way functionality means you can control the same light fitting from two different switch locations, such as at the top and bottom of a staircase.

How do I clean the dimmer switch?

Disconnect the power and wipe the switch with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using any liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.

Is installation straightforward?

Installation should only be carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and correct operation.

What is the main advantage of leading-edge dimming?

Leading-edge dimming is often required for certain types of dimmable LEDs and can provide better performance and compatibility with those specific lamps compared to trailing-edge dimmers.

Troubleshooting

Lights flicker or do not dim smoothly.

Ensure the LED lamps used are marked as dimmable and are compatible with leading-edge dimmers. Verify the total load does not exceed the 400W limit. If issues persist, consult the Varilight compatibility guide or a qualified electrician.

Switch does not turn lights on/off.

Check the wiring connections. Ensure the power supply is connected correctly and the circuit breaker is engaged. If the problem persists, the switch may be faulty and require replacement by a qualified electrician.

Dimming range is limited.

This can sometimes be due to the LED driver. Try a different brand or model of dimmable LED, or consult the Varilight compatibility list for known issues and solutions.
