Yes mateAre they dimmable?
The guy in the shop give me a newlec grid dimmer 5-250w led but after fitting it, it took 20 seconds for lights to come on and they was only half bright and went straight off when tried to dim.Varilight v com will work, never had any issues with it. Think the v-pro can only handle 10 lights up to 100w but the v-com cab take up to 60
If it's anything like the varilight one it will have different settings for different loads and you control it by pressing the dimmer in a certain sequence to change the mode depending on load etc, but I'm not too sure on the newlec oneThe guy in the shop give me a newlec grid dimmer 5-250w led but after fitting it, it took 20 seconds for lights to come on and they was only half bright and went straight off when tried to dim.

I havnt tried them yet, that's why I said v-com I actually don't know of any other dimmers that will work reliably with that many lightsI gave up on Varilight LED dimmers a while back ....... Hamilton seem reliable
14 in this case could be an issue though
No they come on after 10 - 20 seconds but was only half the brightnesswas the lights you fitted started like disco lights !
Yeah the newlec one also has settings but couldn’t get it in to program mode. They come on after few seconds but only half bright and that’s it. They are only 3.6 W each which is just over 50wIf it's anything like the varilight one it will have different settings for different loads and you control it by pressing the dimmer in a certain sequence to change the mode depending on load etc, but I'm not too sure on the newlec one

lol.. true, think I will try the Varilight v-com which should do the jobThats the trouble with buying cheap tat. Normally I would enquire with the manufacturer of the luminaires, as to what brand of dimmer is compatible with their products. As Newlec or shall we say Rexel have taken to buying up all sorts of brands of products, and then boxing them up as their own, but have no technical department to enquire, your up **** creek without a paddle. Ooopps did I just swear
