The dimmer supports a maximum of 20 dimmable LED bulbs per gang.

Can this dimmer be used with standard incandescent bulbs?

Is this dimmer suitable for a 1-way circuit?

Yes, the dimmer can be used in a 1-way circuit, but it also offers the flexibility of 2-way switching if your wiring supports it.

How do I clean the dimmer faceplate?

Turn off the power at the mains. Use a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid chemical cleaners.

What does '2-Way' mean for this dimmer?

A 2-way switch means you can control the same light or lights from two different locations, such as at the top and bottom of a staircase.

What is the warranty period for this Varilight dimmer?

Please refer to the product packaging or Varilight's official website for the most up-to-date warranty information, as it can vary.

Troubleshooting

Dimmer not working or no power.

Check that the circuit breaker is on and that the dimmer is correctly wired. Ensure the total load is within the specified limits.

LED lights flicker or buzz.

Verify that the LED bulbs are dimmable and compatible with this dimmer. Check the total number of LEDs and the total wattage per gang; it should not exceed 20 LEDs or the maximum wattage.

Dimmer feels warm during operation.

Some warmth is normal, especially under high load. If it becomes excessively hot, check the total load and ensure adequate ventilation. Consult an electrician if concerned.

Ensure the push mechanism is not obstructed and that the wiring is secure. Test the switch functionality after confirming power is supplied.
