New BG Dimmers

[Blue Duck]

Just poped in me local medlocks to get a dimmer for the boys bedroom at home.

I was surprised when they guy on the counter said get the BG it will dim anything! 

well apparently it does...

I will try it when I get home If it works then that will be the end of a lot of headscratching and frustration!? :C

I see its like the Aurora one, that it has a adjustable pot to limit how low it goes to stop flickering. I always use  the V Pro   https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/VLJP400MOD.html

Never had a problem with these

I used to order everything from TLC including the varilight dimmer modules But due to the lack of regular electrical work we've not ordered in a while.

good to know there is an off the shelf dimmer that suits most applications.

So despite it saying 60-400va you are suggesting it will dim as little as 12w?

Do let us know how you get on.

yeah, I know what you are saying if you go by the VA but the reason I included the instructions in the picture is that it states a min load of 5w led and 10w CFL.

the instructions do state as low as 5w for LED, so it should work

It took me 6 months of flickering led's in my own lounge to fit the V Pro dimmer module that was sitting next to the tv.

I took me over 2 .5 years to replace the old Wylex 3036 board at home with the DP RCBO unit i got from SBS Dave!

then i had to re shell it into a non explosive tin box before fitting it...as when i bought it nobody had thought of tin boxes

But, you designed it prior so it woulda been OK,

Same as my house rewire, over 8years now and my assessor in April said it my plastic highly explosive CU was acceptable , something to do with the air they put inside them prior to amd3 :C
