IQP501W Varilight 1 Gang 1 or 2 Way 500W Push on/Push off IQ Dimmer White, Plastic White Knob
This intelligent dimmer switch is designed to meet the latest European Safety Legislation.
The lights can be dimmed by the rotary control piece.
The intelligent dimmer is equipped to handle overload situations by stepping down its output to the lamps until the load is reduced (i.e.: if wattage is too high on the bulbs/lamps).
Intelligent dimmers can be used for either mains voltage, low voltage transformer loads, or control of awkward loads (its innovative technology can handle most of the unusual dimmer applications in households and offices). The dimmer has a soft start when turned on, which not only extends the lamp/bulb life but also saves energy. The intelligent dimmer 'steps down' its output under partial overload, and switches off under gross overload conditions; This protects the dimmers' components and extends the product life. Normal operation resumes once the load is corrected.
The intelligent dimmer can be used for mains incandescent gls lamps (standard mains light bulbs), maximum load as specified on dimmer. It can also dim GU10 or similar Hi Spot Mains Halogen lamps (only use quality UK supplied lamps) maximum load as specified on dimmer.
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, any number of transformers up to the maximum rating may be connected. Additional features include self-resetting overload & thermal protection.
The intelligent dimmer can be used for wire wound low voltage transformers up to maximum load as specified on dimmer. Intelligent dimmers can be used on fans and other inductive load appliances (please check with manufacturer that appliance is dimmable).
