VARILIGHT dummy dimmers: retain the look, refine the function

VARILIGHT Dummy Dimmers are the ideal solution for maintaining the aesthetic of a dimmer switch where dimming functionality is not required or possible. Whether you're working with 2-way, intermediate, or retractive switching setups, these modules let you match the visual appeal of dimmer switches throughout your installation, without adding unnecessary features.

Each module is designed to be easily swapped into your existing dimmer assembly: simply remove the knob (and the plate, if using a Screwless design), unscrew the retaining nut, and replace the module with one of the options below.

The modules are compatible with VARILIGHT Matrix plates and most standard dimmer faceplates.

MH0 and MPINT switches are rated 6A: check the inrush current of LED bulbs or drivers does not exceed 6A, and fit inrush current limiters where necessary.

VARILIGHT 2-Way On/Off and Intermediate On/Off modules are available in the following formats:

We are also able to create Bespoke items to your specification. More information on Bespoke items.
