FAQs

Does this switch work with LEDs?

This model is designed for standard resistive loads. For dedicated LED dimming, please consider specific Varilight LED-compatible models.

Can I use this for a 2-way circuit?

Yes, the HC3 is designed to function in both 1-way and 2-way lighting circuits.

What depth of wall box is required?

You must use a wall box with a minimum depth of 25mm for proper installation.

Is the finish prone to tarnishing?

The silver mirror chrome finish is durable, but it should be cleaned with a soft dry cloth to maintain its shine.

What is the maximum load for this switch?

This switch is rated for a maximum load of 400W.

Troubleshooting

Lights flickering at low brightness

Ensure the total wattage of the bulbs connected is within the minimum and maximum load requirements of the dimmer.

Switch plate does not sit flush against the wall

Verify that your back box is at least 25mm deep and clear of debris or excess wiring preventing the switch from seating correctly.

No light output when switched on

Check all wire connections to the terminals for tightness and ensure the fuse or circuit breaker for that zone is active.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sleek silver mirror chrome finish adds a premium look
  • Compatible with both 1-way and 2-way switching
  • Sturdy build quality from a reputable brand
  • Easy to integrate into standard electrical installations

Cons

  • Requires a minimum 25mm deep wall box
  • Not compatible with all LED load types
  • Reflective finish may show fingerprints easily

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For successful installation, ensure the power supply is switched off at the mains. You must have a 25mm deep wall box; if your current box is shallower, the unit will not sit flush against the wall. The device is compatible with standard 1 or 2-way wiring configurations. To maintain the mirror chrome finish, avoid using abrasive chemical cleaners. Simply wipe the switch plate with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust and fingerprints, keeping the silver surface polished and clean.
