Varilight JQP401W V-Pro 1 Gang 2-Way LED Trailing Edge Dimmer Switch, White

Product Information

As we all know children love to play with light switches especially dimmers. So you can prevent the dimmer accidentally going into programming mode by When the product is clear of the wall, cover it with a plastic bag and use an elastic band to secure behind the product. You can then paint or wallpaper the wall. How can we reset the dimmer? The dimmer can be reset to its factory settings, and this will restore the driving mode to trailing edge (MODE 1) and default minimum brightness setting.

Users can set the minimum and maximum load level for the dimmer to optimise the dimming range of a particular lighting load. Here's an example. In your lounge there is a light fitting with 2 x 20W light bulbs currently controlled by a single switch. You want to buy a dimmer to replace the switch. In your local DIY shop there are two dimmers available, one with a minimum rating of 40W and the other 60W. In this case the total lighting load is 2 x 20W = 40W. Therefore you would need to choose the dimmer with the 40W minimum load.

In addition if your LED lights are not as bright as you woold like, altering the maximum brightness level may help by increasing the brightness at maximum setting. Adjusting The Minimum Brightness

Many people prefer written instructions to follow step by step as they usually contains details missed in videos, or put something a different way making it easier to understand overall. So here is a guide to programming the Varilight V-Pro Dimmer. The Varilight V-Pro Dimmer Programming Guide After 3 seconds the dimmer will notice that you have stopped adjusting the brightness and set the brightness level as the new maximum. Performance may vary according to brand and type of LED. Refer to LED manufacturer for specific loading information. Here's an example. In your lounge there are two light fittings both with 3 x 60W light bulbs currently controlled by a single switch. You want to buy a dimmer to replace the switch. In your local DIY shop there are two dimmers available, one with a maximum rating of 250W and the other 400W. In this case the total lighting load is 2 x 3 x 60W = 360W. Therefore the 250W dimmer would not be suitable, you would need to choose the 400W instead.

Data Sheet

It is also "gentler" on the load (this is MODE 3). An alternative trailing-edge mode (MODE 3) may improve the performance of some dimmable LEDs and dimmable CFLs. The lights controlled by the dimmer will step up and then down in brightness to show that the dimmer has returned to normal operation. Please note that it can take several weeks for the chemicals in paint or wallpaper paste to become inert. Before this time there is a danger that they will react with the product if it has a metal faceplate. For this reason we recommend using a plastic bag as a temporary gasket between the product and the wall once it is dry to the touch. In other words, use the plastic to form a barrier between the product and the surface of the wall.
