{"product_id":"qbp928355","title":"Vimar Dimmer, 230V, 100-500W, for Incandescent Lamps, Rotary Control","description":"\u003ch6\u003eOverview\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Vimar ARKÉ Series is a 230V rotary dimmer for resistive incandescent lighting loads from 100 to 500W at 50-60 Hz. It is a flush-mounted module with snapper fastening, IP40 protection, and a thermoplastic body, with a mechanism size of 22.3 mm wide by 49 mm high and a depth that varies from 58.5 to 60.5 mm depending on the reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn board, this type of dimmer makes sense in protected interior spaces such as cabins, saloons, and other dry accommodation areas where the vessel has a 230V AC circuit and conventional incandescent lamps. The rotary control includes a locator visible in darkness, which helps when adjusting cabin lighting at night without adding extra light just to find the control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e230V AC, 50-60 Hz dimmer for resistive incandescent lamps from 100 to 500W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotary potentiometer control with locator visible in darkness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlush-mounted format with snapper fastening for built-in switch installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP40 protection for dry interior mounting locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThermoplastic construction with multiple colour and finish references\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis dimmer is offered in multiple colour and finish configurations under the references listed below.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross the listed references, the basic function stays the same: a 230V, 50-60 Hz rotary dimmer for 100-500W resistive incandescent loads. What changes between variants is the visible colour and surface finish, so the reference should be matched to the surrounding trim already installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVM14150: White, glossy finish. This version keeps a clean white appearance for installations built around light-coloured trim.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVM19150: Grey, matte finish. The darker face changes the visual match while keeping the same electrical role.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVM19150.M: Color Metal, matte finish. This reference adds a metallic look for installations where the switchgear has a more technical appearance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVM14150.SL: Color Silver, glossy finish. The silver face changes the visible finish more than the function and is useful when matching plated or silver-toned trim.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVM19150.B: Color White\/Antibacterial, matte finish. This reference is identified by its white antibacterial finish while keeping the same control format.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis dimmer is for 230V AC circuits only and is intended for resistive incandescent lamps within the 100-500W load window. It is not the right match for low-voltage 12V or 24V DC lighting circuits, and it should not be assumed to work with LED loads unless the lamp system itself is specified for this style of dimming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIP40 protection points to indoor mounting locations away from spray, washdowns, and open weather. On a boat, that usually means accommodation spaces or other enclosed areas rather than cockpit surfaces, exterior bulkheads, or any position that sees direct moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and use on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it is a flush-mounted unit with snapper fastening, it needs a compatible built-in mounting point and matching trim system. Before ordering, the main check is the reference code and finish so the dimmer sits correctly with the surrounding switchgear already fitted on board.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis dimmer suits boats with a 230V interior lighting circuit that still uses incandescent fittings and needs simple manual light control at the wall. It is less relevant on vessels built around low-voltage LED lighting or networked switching systems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vimar","offers":[{"title":"Grey","offer_id":52371007340725,"sku":"QBP928355-2","price":57.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Metal","offer_id":52371007373493,"sku":"QBP928355-7","price":62.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":52371007406261,"sku":"QBP928355-5","price":62.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"White","offer_id":52371007439029,"sku":"QBP928355-8","price":62.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"White\/Antibacterial","offer_id":52371007471797,"sku":"QBP928355-6","price":62.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1316586_qbp928355.jpg?v=1774057637","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp928355","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
