Varilight Double V-Pro Rotary 2-Way LED Dimmer 2 x 0-120W - Value Matt Chrome With Brushed Steel Knob, JSP252

Very good electronics. The led lights in the kitchen were prone to flicker prior to fitting this switch, also the BG dimmer buzzed. This switch has cured all the problems and the led lights work perfectly at all settings. The dimming is smooth and the soft start feature is very nice. I was concerned that the switch felt a little flimsy at first but once fastened to the wall it is fine.

The item worked fine ...I have 2 sets of the ikea spots in my lounge and the switch dims fine until it reaches about 25% illumination, then i get a disco dancing ceiling effect.I suspect IKEA's LEDARE LED 400lm (white & purchased around march 2016) to be the issue, not the switch, as the older silvergrey models from ikea from 2 years ago, dimmed fine in another room, with a similar switch). And the guy at ikea said, the new ones have better tech advances ... err well perhaps not, based on the YMCA action my ceiling gets on that low dim).Build quality of the switch is ok. A switch is a switch for most people and i guess you wouldn't look here if you want spend £100 on a switch lol

Bought this for my dining room to control 3 5W candles and 4 6W GU10s. Needed to adjust the minimum brightness because as supplied it hardly dimmed the lights at all but the programming procedure was pretty straightforward and now works a treat. No buzz, no flicker but there is about 1 second delay when the lights are first turned on before they fade up. Ordering a second one for the living room.

This dimmer switch has already packed up. Didn’t even last 6 months 👎

Changing a like for like dimmer switch because I had bought a new dimmable LED bulb for one of the lights it controlled. This is expensive when put beside its ordinary counterpart, and not quite the same quality as you'd get from, say, an Aurora version, but once fitted, it looks well, works well and does the job.

Bought this to replace a £10 2 gang dimmer switch from Wilkinson.Extremely easy to fit (took about 3 mins) as it was a straight swap (being a bloke I didn't read the manual, just swapped the wires to the new switch as it was the exact same layout internally).The quality is good, feels very solid. The lights have a smooth fade effect when you turn then off, on or change the level.Initially I thought it was faulty as one side didn't seem to dim, but I just needed to adjust the minimum brightness, which the instructions tell you how to do (they aren't great instructions, but I figured it out and had adjusted within 3-4 mins, so not awful). This is actually a really nice feature that you can change the max and min settings incase you will never want a light below/higher a certain value.Also, I'm using this with LED E27 bulbs and they work perfectly (and only use 5w of power each!).

Varilight make the most versatile dimmers. Can be reprogrammed into various drive modes for different LEDs. However they are a little pricey and adjusting the drive modes is very fiddly.

Just noticed that I bought this nearly 6 years ago, and it's still working fine. I have another single gang one which is also good. Very pleased with both.There is a slight (1 second?) pause before it switches on. Occasionally there is a *slight* buzz, but this can be stopped by fading up or down fractionally.Being able to set the lowest dim level is useful.
