FAQs
What is the main difference between a master dimmer and a touch control unit?
The master dimmer is the primary unit that controls the power and dimming function. A touch control unit (or a button on a remote) is used to signal the master dimmer to turn on/off or adjust brightness, especially in multi-way switching setups.
Can I use this dimmer with any LED bulb?
This dimmer is designed for dimmable LEDs. However, LED compatibility can vary by manufacturer. Always check the dimmer's specific load rating (minimum and maximum) and consult Varilight's compatibility list if available.
How do I set up multi-way switching with this dimmer?
To achieve multi-way switching, the Varilight Eclique 2 Master Dimmer must be used in conjunction with a V-Pro IR dimming unit or a compatible touch control unit. Please refer to the specific wiring diagrams provided by Varilight for your setup.
What wall box depth is required for installation?
This dimmer requires a standard UK wall box with a depth of 35mm.
Does the remote control come included?
No, the dedicated remote control handset (Varilight YRC8) is not included and must be purchased separately. Alternatively, you can use a spare button on an existing IR handset.
What is the warranty period for this dimmer switch?
The Varilight Eclique 2 Touch Control Master LED Dimmer is covered by a 10-year guarantee from Varilight.
Can I use this dimmer in a bathroom or kitchen?
The product information does not specify IP ratings for this particular dimmer model. For safety in bathrooms or shower rooms, always ensure products used have appropriate IP ratings (e.g., IP41 or higher for splash protection) and are installed by a qualified electrician.
Troubleshooting
Dimmer not responding to touch
Ensure the dimmer is correctly paired with a master dimmer or touch control unit. Check that the power supply is active and that the touch control handset is within range and has working batteries.
LED lights flicker or strobe
Verify that the LEDs are dimmable and compatible with the dimmer's load rating. Check the minimum and maximum load specifications for the dimmer and ensure your lighting setup falls within these parameters. Some LED driver compatibility issues may require experimentation with different LED bulbs.
Dimmer does not dim smoothly
This may indicate incompatibility with the specific LED bulbs used. Consult the Varilight website for a list of known compatible LED brands/models. Ensure the dimmer is installed correctly and the wall box provides adequate ventilation.
Unit becomes hot during operation
Ensure the lighting load does not exceed the dimmer's maximum rating. Check for proper ventilation around the unit; ensure it is not enclosed in a space with poor airflow. Overload protection should prevent damage, but exceeding limits may cause reduced lifespan.
