FAQs
Can I use this with non-dimmable LED bulbs?
No. Using non-dimmable bulbs will result in flickering, buzzing, and likely permanent damage to both the bulb and the dimmer.
Does this switch require a neutral wire?
No, the Varilight V-Pro is a standard 2-way capable dimmer that works with your existing live and switched-live wiring.
Can I control 3 different lights from this switch?
Yes, as it is a 3-gang switch, it features three independent rotary controls for three separate lighting circuits.
How do I reset the overload protection?
The protection is self-resetting. Simply resolve the underlying overload issue and turn the power back on.
What is the maximum load for this switch?
Please refer to the technical specifications on the packaging for the exact wattage limits, as these vary by bulb technology (LED vs. Halogen).
Troubleshooting
Lights flickering at low brightness
Adjust the minimum brightness setting on the dimmer module to prevent the bulb from reaching an unstable state.
Switch is hot to the touch
Check that the total wattage of the connected lamps does not exceed the maximum rating per gang. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Lights will not turn on
The thermal protection may have triggered. Turn the power off at the mains, let the switch cool for 15 minutes, and check for short circuits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Check: Verify that all connected bulbs are labeled as 'dimmable'. Non-dimmable bulbs will flicker and may damage the switch.
Installation: Ensure power is isolated at the consumer unit before removing the existing switch. The V-Pro requires a minimum of 25mm back box depth, though 35mm is recommended for easier wiring.
Wiring: Follow the included wiring diagram, ensuring the live input is connected to the common terminal.
Maintenance: To clean the silver finish, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemical sprays, as these can degrade the metallic coating over time.
Configuration: If you experience minimal flickering, the V-Pro series allows users to adjust the dimming range settings manually to better match the specific LED lamps installed.
