What are the dimensions of the knob?

Can this knob be used outdoors?

How do I clean the polished brass finish?

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean. A slightly damp cloth can be used for tougher marks, but ensure it is dried immediately afterwards to prevent tarnishing. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Each knob weighs approximately 10 grams.

Does this product come with the dimmer switch itself?

Troubleshooting

Knob does not fit onto the spindle.

Verify that your dimmer switch has a 6mm 'D' shaped spindle. This knob is not compatible with round or other shaped spindles.

Knob feels loose after installation.

Ensure the knob is fully pushed onto the 'D' shaped spindle. Realign and apply firm, even pressure. If the spindle is worn, the knob may not secure properly.

The dimmer control feels stiff.

Check for any obstructions around the dimmer switch. Ensure the knob is not misaligned or rubbing against the switch plate. Clean the spindle and the inside of the knob if any dust is present.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To install the knob, align the 'D' shaped opening on the back of the knob with the corresponding 'D' shaped spindle on your dimmer switch. Gently push the knob onto the spindle until it is firmly seated. Ensure it is correctly oriented before applying pressure.

Compatibility: This knob is suitable for Varlight dimmer switches and any other dimmer switches that feature a 6mm 'D' style spindle. It is crucial to verify the spindle shape and size of your existing dimmer switch before purchase.

Care: Clean the knob using a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed immediately by drying with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the polished brass finish.
