Learn more by watching our Clipsal Iconic 42ELEDM2-VW | LED Dimmer Mechanism, Rotary, 150W | Vivid White Knob video.
The Clipsal Iconic 42ELEDM2-VW is a rotary LED dimmer mechanism rated 220–240V, 150W, designed for dimmable LED loads, incandescent, and electronic transformer applications. The 42ELEDM2-VW features trailing-edge phase control with a new digital electronic 2-wire design and a kickstart feature for faster LED turn-on at low brightness settings. It complies with AS/NZS 60669.2.1 and suits Clipsal Iconic and Pro series switch plates with its clip-in Iconic-compatible backing.
Many lighting retrofit and renovation projects require replacing aged toggle switches or basic on-off mechanisms with dimmers. The 42ELEDM2-VW addresses this gap by fitting the existing Clipsal Iconic grid-plate mounting system, eliminating the need for wall-box changes or electrical rewiring. Customers installing modern dimmable LED downlights in domestic homes, renovations, and upgrade work frequently specify the Iconic range to maintain finish consistency across all switch and control mechanisms.
Licensed electricians value the 42ELEDM2-VW for its straightforward terminal connection and adjustable minimum brightness tuning, which optimises LED dimming performance across different dimmable LED loads without flickering or dead-zone problems. The Clipsal Iconic range supports interchangeable skins and knobs across all switch and dimmer models, so stockists can supply one backing plate and rotate mechanisms and finishes to match job requirements. The dimmer delivers smooth brightness control from 1 to 100 percent, making it a dependable upsell for customers upgrading basic installations.
The Clipsal Iconic 42ELEDM2-VW is not suitable for external walls, damp locations, or weather-exposed installations. Do not use the dimmer in bathrooms, laundries, kitchens with splash zones, or outdoor environments. The mechanism is rated for interior flush-mount switching only.

Yes, the 42ELEDM2-VW is rated for dimmable LED at 150W, incandescent at 150W, and electronic transformer loads. It is not rated for standard non-dimmable LEDs or fluorescent lights. Confirm the connected lights are labelled "dimmable" before installation.
Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician. The dimmer is connected to live electrical supply and must comply with AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules and local building regulations. Verify your installation meets the relevant standards for your state or territory.
Yes, the 42ELEDM2-VW fits all Clipsal Iconic backing plates and grid plates using the same clip-in mechanism. You can mix single, double, triple, quad outlets, switches, and dimmers on the same faceplate in any combination of Vivid White or other Iconic finishes.
The 42ELEDM2-VW is the replacement for the 42E350RLD2M-VW. It features a new digital 2-wire electronic design that improves LED dimming range, includes a kickstart function for faster LED turn-on at low settings, and adds an adjustable minimum brightness dial to eliminate flicker and dead-zone issues on specific LED loads.
Kickstart provides a brief high-voltage pulse when you first turn on the dimmer at low brightness settings, helping dimmable LEDs overcome their minimum voltage threshold and light up reliably. Without kickstart, some LED bulbs fail to turn on below 10 percent brightness and require a full rotation to achieve lighting. The feature solves this common problem with older dimmers.
