This Varilight V-Pro (Professional Universal) dimmer switch is designed to meet the latest European Safety Legislation. Varilight are a brand reknown world wide for being at the cutting edge, whilst staying a high quality, durable and affordable product

This is a Dimmer from Varilight's new V-Pro Series. For a detailed comparison of the differences between the J series (V-Pro), the I Series (V-Plus) and the H Series (V-Dim), please visit out Standard Dimmer Switch FAQ Section, which gives a detailed breakdown of the benefits of each.

The V-Pro Dimmer Series are perhaps most innovative in their ability to Dim LED bulbs. This J Series Dimmer can be used with Incandescent GLS Lamps, Dichroic Lamps (1-20 Transformers), CFL bulbs (such as the YCA20D E27 Screw Fitting or B22 Bayonet Fitting and GU10 Halogens or similar Hi Spot Mains Halogen lamps (only use quality UK supplied lamps). With a minimum load of only 10 watts, this V Pro Dimmer Switch reduces power consumption and is ideal for use with LED's.

The dimmer has a Soft Start when turned on, meaning it won't instantly turn on to full capacity. This not only extends the life of the lamp and bulb, but saves energy and gives a steady, welcoming effect when turned on. It has a built in heat sensor to prevent damage to the dimmer if it becomes too hot.

The V-Pro Series Dimmers are compatible with Mains Voltage Lighting, Trailing Edge Loads, Leading Edge Loads and Low Voltage Transformers (see below for suggested transformers). It can NOT be used as a Fan Isolater, with Wire-Wound Low Voltage Transformers or Inductive Loads.

You can use other quality low voltage transformers, but we would recommend using the Varilight low voltage transformers (product codes: YT50, YT70, YT105, YT150, YT250) for their long life quality and ease of installation. With quality low voltage transformers you can control them up to maximum load as specified on the dimmer.
