Product Information

Full details

The Varilight Matrix 1-Gang Double Plate Unpopulated Dimmer Kit is an ideal solution for electrical contractors, interior designers, and DIY enthusiasts looking to create custom dimming configurations with a sleek, professional finish. Its primary benefit is modular flexibility, allowing users to assemble bespoke dimmer layouts without the waste associated with pre-configured units. However, users should note that as an unpopulated kit, it requires the purchase of compatible separate dimmer modules to function, meaning it is not a standalone plug-and-play dimming device.

FAQs

Does this kit include the dimmer modules?

No, this is an unpopulated plate kit. You must purchase the Varilight dimmer modules separately.

What is the size of the plate?

The plate measures 88 mm by 148 mm.

How deep of a wall box do I need?

The system fits into a 25mm deep wall box, though the final required depth depends on the specific dimmer modules you install.

Can I use other brand modules with this plate?

The plate is designed for the Varilight Matrix system; it is recommended to use compatible Varilight components for a secure fit.

What comes in the box?

The kit includes one unpopulated curved edge plate, a dimmer knob, a fixing nut, and a specialized assembly tool.

Troubleshooting

Dimmer knob feels loose

Check the fixing nut behind the knob and use the included assembly tool to tighten it against the plate.

Plate does not sit flush against the wall

Ensure wires behind the dimmer modules are properly managed and not bunching up, and verify the wall box is level.

Assembly tool does not grip the nut

Verify that you are using the correct orientation and ensure no debris is stuck in the nut threading.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High level of configuration flexibility
  • Reduces unnecessary hardware waste
  • Professional, aesthetic grey finish
  • Includes essential assembly tool
  • Easy to integrate with existing wiring boxes

Cons

  • Dimmer modules must be purchased separately
  • Requires some technical assembly skill
  • Depth depends on the specific modules chosen
  • Limited to 1-gang double plate format

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, first ensure the power is isolated at the mains. Use the included assembly tool to secure your chosen modules into the plate aperture before connecting the wiring according to the dimmer module instructions. The plate should be mounted using standard screws into the wall box. For maintenance, keep the plate finish pristine by wiping with a soft, dry cloth; avoid the use of abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could strip the grey coating. Ensure that the combined load of the modules placed within the plate does not exceed the capacity of the installed dimmer circuitry.
