VARILIGHT is Named as a Finalist in the Prestigious Lighting Design Awards 2012

We are proud to announce that Varilight has been named as a Finalist for the 2012 Lighting Design Awards in the Lighting Controls category.

Varilight^® V-Pro^TM dimmers deliver a superb dimming performance for a wide variety of lighting loads, including most dimmable LEDs. Intelligent load detection combines with ultra-smooth trailing-edge technology for optimum lighting control.

V-Pro dimmers are offered across the Varilight decorative electrical range with a wide choice of contemporary and traditional faceplate finishes available.

There has been an overwhelming level of interest in both V-Pro push-on/off, rotary dimmers and the new Eclique infrared touch/remote dimmer which has been shortlisted for the LDA award.

Managing Director, Dr Tony Doyle, explained why he is so delighted by the news, "At Varilight we thrive on new challenges and that has earned us a strong reputation for bringing innovation to the market. Reaching the finals of the Lighting Design Awards gives us a great platform to publicise what we believe to be ground-breaking technology. We have looked into the future (as far as we can see) and demanding loads such as dimmable LEDs are clearly set to become increasingly popular as replacements for conventional lighting. The technology we have developed can adapt to deliver an excellent dimming performance tailored to the characteristics of the load. We would encourage customers to choose V-Pro dimmers to future-proof their installations."

The final takes place on 21st March 2012.

VARILIGHT White Chocolate - La Crème de la Crème

With the trend towards high-gloss surfaces in contemporary interior design continuing to gather pace and the enduring appeal of cream in more traditional homes, the launch of Varilight's new White Chocolate high-gloss cream finish has been well-timed.

Offered in Varilight's Dimension Screwless range, the White Chocolate finish is paired with coordinating polished chrome switch rockers, toggles, control knobs and buttons. A wide range of switches, sockets, connection units and dimmer switches are available. White Chocolate PowerGrid and DataGrid faceplates are also available which, paired with polished chrome PowerGrid modules and white DataGrid modules, extend the core assortment making the range suitable for a wide variety of projects and applications including kitchens, living and dining rooms and bedrooms.

To order items from the White Chocolate range, the letter "W" should be used to denote the finish in Varilight's standard stock coding system. For example, the code for a 1-Gang 2-Way 10A Rocker Switch is XDW1S.

V-Pro: The New Name for VARILIGHT Trailing-Edge

V-Pro is the new name for our intelligent trailing-edge dimmer range (formerly known as J-series dimmers). V-Pro dimmers are extremely versatile and perform superbly with most dimmable LEDs. The range was developed with Philips MasterLED and Toshiba dimmable LEDs but performs well with most other brands of dimmable LED as well. In addition to most dimmable LEDs, the V-Pro dimmer is also suitable for traditional mains voltage lighting, mains halogen, dimmable electronic low voltage transformers and dimmable CFLs. VARILIGHT trailing-edge dimmers produce a very gentle waveform which equips them be extremely versatile and extends lamp life considerably. V-Pro dimmers are programmable with a choice of dimming modes and an adjustable minimum brightness setting for enhanced compatibility. Item codes for V-Pro dimmers begin with a J. Already available are V-Pro 1- or 2-way push on/off, rotary dimmers. V-Pro touch/remote control versions are currently in development and are expected to be available by the end of 2011.
