FAQs
What is the maximum number of lights I can connect to this dimmer?
The dimmer controls multiple lights, but the total load must not exceed 100W. The number of lights depends on their individual wattage. For example, you could power up to six 15W dimmable LED bulbs (total 90W).
Can I use this dimmer with non-dimmable LED bulbs?
No, this dimmer is designed for dimmable bulbs only. Using non-dimmable bulbs can cause damage to the bulbs or the dimmer, and may result in flickering or buzzing.
What is the difference between this dimmer and a standard switch?
A standard switch simply turns lights on or off. This dimmer allows you to adjust the brightness level of the connected lights, providing greater control over room ambiance.
Does the Georgian Brass finish tarnish?
The polished brass finish is designed for durability. Regular dusting with a soft cloth will help maintain its shine. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.

The Varilight V-Pro Multipoint Dimmer is covered by the Varilight 10-year guarantee.
How do I reset the dimmer if it's not working correctly?
There is no user-resettable function for this type of dimmer. If you experience persistent issues, refer to the troubleshooting section or contact Varilight customer support.
Troubleshooting
Lights flicker or buzz
This often indicates incompatibility with the bulbs. Ensure all connected bulbs are dimmable and try a different brand or type of dimmable LED. Check that the total load is within the 0-100W range.
Dimmer does not turn lights on/off
Verify that the power supply is on and correctly wired. Check all connections to the dimmer terminals.
Dimming range is limited or uneven
Ensure the bulbs are compatible with V-Pro technology. The performance can vary slightly between different dimmable LED models. Check that the load is not too low or too close to the maximum limit.
Dimmer feels warm during operation
Some warmth is normal, especially under load. However, if it becomes excessively hot, turn off the power and check the total wattage of connected bulbs. Ensure the load does not exceed 100W.
