The company undertook a complete redesign of the traditional dimmer switch to create its V-Pro series, which is equipped with features to optimise the dimming performance of LED lighting. For example, an adjustable minimum brightness setting enables the user to define the best dimming range for any given LED lighting load, eliminating flicker and exploiting the full dimming capability of individual LED lamps. Varilight&#8217;s new V-Com series builds on the company\u2019s success by addressing the increasing need to control larger LED lighting loads.<\/p>\n<p>This accolade is the latest in a string of awards for Varilight who, as pioneers in lighting and dimming technologies, have been lighting up the electrical industry for over forty years. During this time, there has been a constant need to re-evaluate the dimmer switch as new lighting technology has emerged; especially the recent generations of energy-saving light sources which have come to dominate the market. Varilight has led the way in lighting control with a series of technical innovations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are delighted to have been recognised for this most prestigious of awards,\u201d says company chairman, Tony Doyle. \u201cThe V-Pro LED dimmer has become our flagship product and raised the profile of the Varilight brand, bringing with it increased interest in our\u00a0entire range of decorative dimmers, switches and sockets. With a new\u00a0European range and other export initiatives, we are well-positioned to build on our success in the UK as we introduce our world class LED dimmer switches to international markets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>www.varilight.co.uk<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>British electrical wiring accessory and dimmer switch manufacturer Doyle &amp; Tratt Products Ltd, better known by its brand name Varilight, has won a second Queen\u2019s Award for Enterprise, the UK\u2019s highest accolade for business success.
