The Varilight Matrix Kit for Rotary Dimmers offers a flexible, modular solution for customised lighting control. Designed to work with the Varilight Matrix System, this kit provides the plate, knob and fixings you need, allowing you to select and add your preferred dimmer modules separately. Ideal for new installations or refurbishments where you want a tailored dimming solution, the Matrix Kit gives you full control over the configuration of your lighting circuits.
Key Features
Bespoke configuration – Choose your faceplate size, gang count and finish, then select the dimmer modules that suit your load and wiring scenario.
Modular system – The kit includes the faceplate, knob(s), nut and spanner; dimmer modules are ordered separately to tailor your circuit precisely.
Multiple gang options – Available in 1‑gang, 2‑gang, 3‑gang and 4‑gang formats (including twin plate options) to fit a variety of wiring layouts.
High load capacities – Depending on plate size and configuration, LED load ratings of up to 400 W (single‑plate) or 600 W (twin‑plate) are achievable.
Customisable finishes – Faceplates and knobs are available in a wide range of finishes to suit décor and specification requirements.
Trusted UK manufacture – Built in the UK and backed by Varilight’s lifetime guarantee for manufacturing defects.
Performance and Technical Information
With the Matrix Kit installed, you begin by selecting the appropriate modules (such as rotary dimmer, push‑on/push‑off, 2‑way or 1‑way modules). The plate kit ensures compatibility and clean installation, and the system supports mixed module sizes where allowance is made for the maximum load per plate. Modules are clearly sized (S, M, L, XL) and matched to the faceplate size.
When specifying your lighting circuit, the Matrix Kit gives full modular flexibility: you may mix dimmers, dummy modules (for future upgrades), and switches in the same unit, making it ideal for future‑proofing or complex layouts. The kit itself carries no load rating (the modules determine the load) but must be installed with correct earthing, within indoor domestic wiring environments.
Additional Technical Details
The kit contains: faceplate, knob(s), mounting nut, and spanner.
Fixing centres: 120.6 mm (standard for twin‑plate versions) or as specified per variant.
Applicable safety standard: BS EN 60669 (for dimmer control accessories) indoors only.
Module size compatibility table: For example, Single plate (1‑gang) supports S, M, L module sizes and up to approx 400 W LED load; Twin plate (1‑gang twin) supports S, M, L, XL and up to approx 600 W LED.
Product requires correct back‑box depth and installation by a competent person. Modules determine actual load rating; this kit is the structural part.
The Varilight Matrix Kit for Rotary Dimmers is a smart way to build a bespoke lighting control solution without committing to a fixed dimmer layout. By supplying the plate and hardware, you retain flexibility to pick the exact modules you need, and change them in the future if required. Whether it’s for a high‑spec residential installation or a commercial lighting scheme needing flexibility and tidy aesthetics, this kit offers quality, customisation and peace of mind backed by Varilight’s UK manufacturing and guarantee.
