Dimmer Switch Is this right?

[Bobbya82]

Just got a new dimmer delivered and 1 of the dimmers is up the wrong way as per the attached. Is this correct, someone been messing about with it!?

Should I be sending to back?

The photo on the varilight website shows them all up the right way

Thanks all

I don't know why it is like that but it doesn't really matter.

Pull off the knob, undo the nut and turn it round if you want.

 

[Bobbya82]

Thanks but is it suspicious it’s like that?

Can it just be left like that but it makes me think why is it like that as it shouldn’t be.

Cheers

Just noticed that the centre one has different markings so obviously it has been fiddled with.

 

[Bobbya82]

The varilight website shows the attached so it might be the middle one is correct and the other 2 are wrong

 

[EFLImpudence]

So it does.

Perhaps someone has made one good one out of two with faults.

Did you buy it from the manufacturer?

 

[Bobbya82]

Amazon seller, had good reviews but it’s going back! 3 gang dimmers aren’t cheap £40!

Anyone recommend a decent one?

Thanks

 

[EFLImpudence]

Yes, probably been sent back before.

They are decent ones, though.

 

[Bobbya82]

This any good

I have no knowledge of them particularly but I am confident in saying most people would recommend Varilight.

Think about it, does it make any difference to the look or operation. The answer is none what-so-ever, and so it's fine.

Some dimmers the spindle is not central to the module, so the dimmer gets inverted so it does not hit the adjacent module

 

[Bobbya82]

on the varilight site it shows it as per the attached so know it’s not as it should be

the modules are often mounted alternately up/down to give some resemblance to a switch.
The first couple I clicked on google

That picture is of 3 of the same modules, yours is not the same, the centre module you have is different, as said it may not fit the other way up
