VARILIGHT is Named as a Finalist in the Prestigious Lighting Design Awards 2012
We are proud to announce that Varilight has been named as a Finalist for the 2012 Lighting Design Awards in the Lighting Controls category.Varilight® V-ProTM dimmers deliver a superb dimming performance for a wide variety of lighting loads, including dimmable LEDs. Intelligent load detection combines with ultra-smooth trailing-edge technology for optimum lighting control.
V-Pro dimmers are offered across the Varilight decorative electrical range with a wide choice of contemporary and traditional faceplate finishes available.
There has been an overwhelming level of interest in both V-Pro push-on/off, rotary dimmers and the new Eclipse infrared touch/remote dimmer which has been shortlisted for the LDA award.
Managing Director, Dr Tony Doyle, explained why he is so delighted by the news, "At Varilight we thrive on new challenges and that has earned us a strong reputation for bringing innovation to the market. Reaching the finals of the Lighting Design Awards gives us a great platform to publicise what we believe to be ground-breaking technology. We have looked into the future (as far as we can see) and demanding loads such as dimmable LEDs are clearly set to become increasingly popular as replacements for conventional lighting. The technology we have developed can adapt to deliver an excellent dimming performance tailored to the characteristics of the load. We would encourage customers to choose V-Pro dimmers to future-proof their installations."
The final takes place on 21st March 2012.
