FAQs

Does this kit include the dimmer modules?

No, the kit includes only the faceplate and the control knobs. You must purchase compatible Varilight dimmer modules separately.

Can I use other brands of dimmer modules with this plate?

The Varilight Matrix system is specifically engineered for Varilight modules. Using other brands may result in compatibility issues.

Is this plate suitable for use in a bathroom?

This plate does not have an IP rating, so it should not be installed in zones where moisture or water contact is likely.

What kind of back box is required?

It is designed to fit standard UK 1-gang electrical back boxes.

How do I clean the bronze finish?

Use a clean, soft, dry cloth. Do not use household sprays or abrasive pads.

Can I use this for light switches instead of dimmers?

This specific kit is designed for rotary dimmers and is intended to accommodate those specific control modules.

Troubleshooting

Faceplate appears loose after installation

Check that the mounting screws are fully tightened and that the wall box is properly recessed into the plaster.

Knob does not rotate smoothly

Ensure the dimmer module is centered correctly within the faceplate aperture during installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Select the appropriate Varilight rotary dimmer modules. 3. Clip the modules into the mounting frame provided with the plate. 4. Secure the faceplate to the back box using the supplied screws.
