An excellent choice. Seems to be compatible with every dimmer you throw
at them in my experience although I have never used the remote dimmer
controller.


I've used a more traditional Varilight with a knob. They have 3 driver
profiles IIRC that can be set as default: leading edge, trailing edge
and something else(???) - and the knob version, usefully can have its
minimum point set so the lights don't go out completely at the lowest
position.

Yup - have got one driving 20 LED MR16. Clever design.

The Ikea 'puck remote' lamps when down well today in a pair of 'NOT'
uplighters. Much better lighting than the single ceiling lamps were
giving.

Because of that and additional interest from step-grand daughter re
'remote controlled lights', I'm probably going to get and fit at least
one of the 'Varilight V-Pro IR Remote Control' switchplates, probably
controlling a 3 x GU10 ceiling spot. It's currently equipped with 3 x
50W halogens and I intend to replace those with 3 x 7W (dimmable) LED
spots.

Any thoughts or comments on that please (as I've never dealt with GO10
lamps. Is there a special tool / trick to get them out when recessed
slightly in a tubular fitting)?
