FAQs

Can this dimmer be used with non-dimmable LED bulbs?

No, this dimmer is designed specifically for dimmable LED bulbs, as well as halogen and incandescent lights. Using non-dimmable bulbs can cause damage to the bulbs or the dimmer, and will likely result in flickering or failure to operate.

What is the maximum number of lights I can connect?

The dimmer is a 3-gang switch, meaning it can control up to three separate lighting circuits. The maximum load for each circuit (and the overall dimmer) depends on the type of bulb and specific dimmer specifications listed in the product details. Always check the wattage compatibility.

Do I need a special remote control for this dimmer?

Yes, while the dimmer has touch and tactile controls, its remote functionality requires a dedicated Varilight remote handset, such as the YRC8, which needs to be purchased separately.

Can I use this dimmer in a 2-way switching setup?

This is a master dimmer and can be used in a 2-way or multi-way setup, but it must be paired with a compatible 2-way module or switch from Varilight. Please refer to the product manual for correct wiring configurations.

What is the difference between the touch control and tactile buttons?

The touch control offers a seamless, modern interface where you tap or swipe the surface to adjust lighting. The tactile buttons provide a more traditional, physical press for light control, offering an alternative or supplementary method of operation.

Does the dimmer require an earth connection?

Yes, like most mains voltage switches and dimmers in the UK, this Varilight switch requires an earth connection for safety.

Troubleshooting

Dimmer not turning on or responding to touch.

Check that power is correctly supplied to the dimmer and that the wall box has sufficient depth (35mm). Verify all wiring connections are secure according to the manual. Ensure the unit is not in overload condition.

LED lights flicker or buzz when dimmed.

Ensure the LED bulbs are explicitly marked as 'dimmable'. Check the minimum and maximum load ratings of the dimmer against the total load of the connected bulbs. Try adjusting the dimmer's low-end setting if available (consult manual).

Remote control is not working.

Verify the remote handset is within range and has working batteries. Ensure the remote is paired correctly with the dimmer unit as per the instructions. Check if a separate remote control unit is required for the specific configuration.

Dimmer overheats or trips.

This indicates an overload. Ensure the total wattage of the connected lights does not exceed the dimmer's maximum rating. Remove any faulty bulbs. For LED loads, ensure compatibility and proper connection.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Varilight Eclique 2 requires a 35mm deep UK standard wall box. Ensure the power is switched off at the mains before installation. The unit is designed for 1-way switching as a master dimmer. For 2-way or multi-way control, it must be used in conjunction with a compatible master dimmer or remote unit. Follow the wiring diagram provided in the product manual carefully, ensuring all connections are secure and the switch is earthed.

Compatibility: This dimmer is primarily designed for dimmable LED, halogen, and incandescent bulbs. Always check the product title for specific dimmer specifications, including maximum and minimum load ratings for your lighting type. It is compatible with Varilight's own remote handsets (like the YRC8) and can also be integrated with spare buttons on existing compatible remote controls. It works with all standard Euro data modules if used with a DataGrid plate (sold separately).

Care: To clean the switch, disconnect power at the mains. Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish. Ensure the unit is completely dry before restoring power.
