## Description

Varilight 2-Gang 2-Way V-Dim Push On/Off Rotary Dimmer 2 x 60-400W White Plastic

Review: Quality dimmer switch - We've had this for about a year to control our main ceiling light and uplighters. No problems thus far. Performed flawlessly and with only a slight buzzing that you wouldn't hear unless you put your ear right up to it.
Review: Good switch but questionable long-term reliability - I bought this to replace another Varilight double dimmer switch that failed after two years. One set of lights it controlled suddenly started flickering and would only light dimly. A previous one survived only three years of relatively light use. The switch is easy to fit - I just copied the wiring connections from the old switch - and it works fine with a positive click when switching on or off. The rotating dimmer action is smooth and nicely weighted so you can adjust it to exactly the level needed quite easily. It is supplied with screws to fix the switch to a recessed wall box though no white screw cover caps. All in all, a good switch but it loses one star for a question about reliability/longevity.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is't use at 120v?**
A: I believe it's intended for 220-240 volt operation.
It would probably work at 120v, but might exhibit problems. It's not intended for LED lights either.

**Q: Can I double check that this 2 gang dimmer offers up to 400w on each circuit, not 400w in total? Thanks**
A: Hi.  My understanding is that it is 400w per circuit.  However, check if your are on Tungsten bulbs or LEDs; they may require different switches.  You also need to check if they are  1 to 2-way circuits as you can only put a dimmer on one end of a 2-way circuit.  I totally agree with the maths of the other answer  Hope this helps.  Regards.  Gordon

**Q: I have a light in the dinning room and one in the living room they have 4 x G9 33w bulbs each is this the right dimmer I need ?**
A: Each gang/switch will control a minimum of 60w and a maximum of 400w. The total wattage of each of your lights is 132w so this unit will be fine.

**Q: is this ok for led mains bulbs?**
A: hi i have halogen bulbs so not sure about LED but i don't see why it shouldn't.
