Default Varilight V-Pro dimmer driving LED downlighters - not turning off

Are these those touch plate ones. I think it may well be that the plate is
still thinking its been touched due to pick up of interference maybe?
I had a table lamp like that some time ago, It did not make filament lamps
glow but it did put current through when off. I've never really trusted
touch switches. I don't care now of course so all the clever switches are
now toggles so I can just put the light on when a sightee comes along.

Morning all,

I've a new extension which has 2 banks of downlighters (one bank of 6 and
one of 8) in the ceiling. Each bank is controlled by a Varilight V-Pro
mullti-point touch and IR dimmer master and slave.

When I turn the lights off, they are staying on but going to a really low,
barely perceptible level.

I know they aren't turning off properly because if I knock the breaker off
they go out properly.

I have faith in the electrician, and everything is brand new.

The LEDs downlighters are dimmable jobs from screwfix, about £9 a pop. I
have some of these same downlighters on normal switches and they work fine.

I've tried all three dimming modes on the Varilight switches.

Because it is happening on both banks, I'm inclined to suspect the dimmers.

Anyone out there got any experience of this issue with this product?

Kind regards
Jon
