        Clipsal by Schneider Electric | Rotary Universal Dimmer Mechanism, 350W | Vivid White Complete

        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).
        • Built-in protection — short circuit, over-current, and over-temperature safeguards prevent damage on fault conditions.
        • Iconic range interchangeability — 42E350RUD2M-VW uses the same backing plate and connections as all Clipsal Iconic outlets and switches, so electricians can stock one base assembly and swap mechanisms as needed.
        • Supplied complete with plate assembly — includes backing frame, mechanism, and Vivid White cover plate; no additional parts required for installation into standard wall boxes.
        • AS/NZS 60669.2.1 compliant — certified to Australian and New Zealand electrical standards for dimming devices, approved for residential and light commercial use without restriction.
        • Not suitable for outdoor or high-temperature environments — operating temperature is rated 0–45 degrees Celsius; the 42E350RUD2M-VW is designed for interior wall mounting only, not for damp or external locations.
        • Optimised for Clipsal TPDL LED series — Clipsal's TPDL downlights are pre-tuned for smooth, flicker-free dimming with this mechanism, though the universal autodetect also supports third-party LED fittings with compatible drivers.

        Where to use

        • Living areas and lounge spaces — the 42E350RUD2M-VW handles ceiling lights, wall sconces, and table lamp circuits, delivering smooth brightness control for ambient lighting and entertainment scenes.
        • Kitchen and dining zones — dimmers on bench-level and overhead lighting allow diners to set mood independently from prep-work intensity; the universal compatibility suits mixed LED and halogen fittings in the same circuit.
        • Bedroom and ensuite lighting — gentle dimming from full brightness down to 1 per cent supports sleep preparation and morning routines without startling occupants.
        • Home theatre and media rooms — precise rotary control and flicker-free dimming create a cinema-like experience for movie nights, and LED downlight compatibility keeps power draw low on extended viewing sessions.
        • Ceiling fan circuits — the 42E350RUD2M-VW is explicitly rated for ceiling fan motors, allowing installer to offer speed control on existing or new fan installations using the same dimmer as lighting.
        • Renovation and retrofit work — when upgrading an existing Clipsal switch installation to add dimming, the 42E350RUD2M-VW integrates seamlessly with existing Iconic plates, backing frames, and grid configurations.
        • Spec upgrades on new builds — adding the 42E350RUD2M-VW to key circuits on new home specs raises perceived value and aligns with modern customer expectations for mood lighting without upselling a separate smart home system.

        The Clipsal Iconic 42E350RUD2M-VW is not suitable for external walls, outdoor installations, or damp exposed locations. Do not use in bathrooms, splash zones, laundries, or any area subject to moisture, rain, or condensation. The dimmer is designed for interior wall mounting only.

        "Great price, includes all parts required, good shipping, smooth process." — Richard

        (42E350RUD2M-VW)

        Universal dimming means the 42E350RUD2M-VW detects whether the connected load is trailing edge or leading edge compatible and automatically switches modes. Most dimmers are one or the other. By auto-selecting, the 42E350RUD2M-VW works across incandescent, halogen, LED, and fluorescent loads without manual setup or risk of incompatibility.

        Yes. The 42E350RUD2M-VW is rated for small motors including ceiling and exhaust fans, so you can offer speed control on fan circuits using the same dimmer mechanism as your lighting circuits. This simplifies stock management on site.

        The minimum brightness is set manually using a mechanical end-stop adjustment after the dimmer is installed and the plate is fixed to the wall. You can configure it down to 1 per cent depending on the load. No electrical tools or reconfiguration needed once set.

        Yes, the 42E350RUD2M-VW works with dimmable LED lighting fitted with compatible electronic transformers or drivers. Clipsal's TPDL downlight series is pre-tuned for flicker-free dimming with this mechanism. Always verify that third-party LED fittings carry a "dimmable" rating and have compatible drivers before installation.

        The 42E350RUD2M-VW arrives as a complete assembly including the dimmer mechanism, backing plate, and Vivid White knob kit. No additional parts are needed for installation into standard 16mm or 20mm Australian wall boxes. Optional colour knob kits (Warm Grey, Cool Grey, Anthracite) are available separately.
