        Clipsal Iconic 42ELEDM2-VW | LED Dimmer Mechanism, Rotary, 150W |  Vivid White Knob

        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.

        Features

        • 150W LED, incandescent, electronic transformer rated — suitable for downlights, ceiling fans, and mood lighting on standard domestic 10A or 15A circuits without overload.
        • Trailing-edge phase control — the new digital electronic 2-wire design optimises LED dimming range and avoids flicker and buzzing associated with older leading-edge dimmers.
        • Kickstart feature — provides faster LED turn-on at low brightness settings, preventing the common complaint of LEDs failing to light below 10 percent brightness.
        • Adjustable minimum brightness — mechanical adjustment dial tunes the dimmer's bottom end to match specific LED load characteristics, eliminating dead-zone problems and ensuring smooth fade-to-off operation.
        • Clip-in Iconic mechanism — installs into standard Clipsal Iconic backing plates and grid plates with no additional parts or tools, compatible with all Iconic single, double, triple, and quad configurations.
        • Rotary control — smooth knob operation provides intuitive brightness adjustment; fits the Vivid White knob supplied or accepts alternative Iconic knob styles for finish changes.
        • 1-way or 2-way switching — the 2-wire supply connector suits both single-location dimming and multi-location 2-way control circuits with a conventional traveller-switch setup.
        • Short-circuit, overload, and thermal protection — built-in electronic protection prevents damage from connected LED strings, wiring faults, or extreme temperature conditions.
        • IP20 rated — suitable for interior use only; not weatherproof and not rated for damp exposed locations, bathrooms, or outdoor installations.
        • Vivid White finish — polyester powder-coated knob in Vivid White matches the full Clipsal Iconic range for a unified installation appearance.

        Where to use

        • Domestic downlight retrofits — replace on-off switches controlling existing recessed ceiling downlights with the 42ELEDM2-VW to add brightness control and energy savings on renovation projects.
        • Living room mood lighting — the 42ELEDM2-VW controls pendant lights, wall sconces, and floor lamps, allowing occupants to adjust ambience from full brightness for cleaning to 20% for evening entertainment.
        • Kitchen and dining ambient control — fit the dimmer above kitchen benches to control under-cabinet and feature lighting alongside primary ceiling downlights, giving diners and cooks independent control.
        • Bedroom and ensuite lighting — the smooth fade-to-off function makes the 42ELEDM2-VW ideal for bedside reading lights and bathroom mirror lights where gradual dimming is preferred over abrupt on-off switching.
        • Office and study work surfaces — adjustable desk and task lighting dimmed via the 42ELEDM2-VW reduces eye strain and allows workers to fine-tune brightness for screen-based and paper-based tasks.
        • Holiday rental and investment properties — dimmable lighting in main living areas is a modern amenity that adds to perceived quality; guests appreciate the ability to set their preferred brightness without installing additional controls.

        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.

        Verified Sparky Direct customer reviews: Clipsal Iconic 42ELEDM2-VW LED Dimmer Mechanism (42ELEDM2-VW)

        "Great logical products at fantastic prices" — Matt

        "Fast postage, well packed and great quality." — Mattrix

        "Works perfectly, downlights have another dimension added to them now." — Richard

        (42ELEDM2-VW)

        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.
