Clipsal Iconic Rotary Universal Dimmer Mech 350w - CLI42E350RUD2M-VW

Clipsal Iconic Rotary Universal Dimmer Mech 350w - CLI42E350RUD2M-VW

The Clipsal Iconic 42E350RUD2M-VW is a universal dimmer mechanism rated 220–240V AC, 350W maximum load. The 42E350RUD2M-VW features autodetect technology that automatically selects the correct dimming mode for trailing edge or leading edge compatible loads, and arrives as a complete assembly with Vivid White knob kit.

Installation of a dimmer on a lighting circuit often requires retrofitting or upgrading an existing switch plate, and choosing a mechanism that works across incandescent, halogen, LED, and fan loads cuts out the guesswork. The Clipsal Iconic dimmer range uses a single backing plate across all outlets and switches in the Iconic series, so stock rotation on the job is straightforward. The 42E350RUD2M-VW is positioned as the universal option for circuits that may run mixed loads, eliminating the need to stock multiple dimmer types for different appliances.

Licensed sparkies and renovators value the Iconic range for consistency across job specs. A customer can retrofit a single dimmer or rewire an entire house in matching finishes and mechanisms. The rotary knob interface is familiar and ergonomic on site. The user-configurable minimum brightness setting (down to 1 per cent) supports different load types after installation. Stock margins on the 42E350RUD2M-VW are solid because the mechanism's full-range universal compatibility cuts customer call-backs from incompatibility. Installation time is quick on standard wall boxes. The included VW knob kit means no additional parts sourcing on the job.

Features
*Autodetect dimming technology — automatically selects trailing edge or leading edge phase control based on the connected load, eliminating manual configuration.
*350W maximum load capacity — accommodates most domestic lighting circuits, with derating guidance for multi-mechanism installations (250W per dimmer with two mechanisms, 150W per dimmer with three).
*1W minimum load — supports LED circuits and other low-draw dimmable loads without flickering or shutdown.
Universal load compatibility — dims incandescent, halogen 240V lamps, low-voltage halogen with compatible transformers, dimmable LED lighting with compatible electronic transformers, compact fluorescent, and ceiling fan motors.
*Configurable minimum brightness — user-adjustable down to 1 per cent (load dependent) after installation, allows fine-tuning for specific fixtures or customer preference.
*Rotary knob interface — smooth, natural dimming action with rotary control; VW knob kit included; additional colour options available separately as parts packs (Warm Grey, Cool Grey, Anthracite).
