Suitable dimmer switch for LED downlights

[littlespark]

I just completed a job for neighbour through an insurance company and main contractor.
I was asked at the beginning to put in LED downlights in the kitchen, bathroom and en-suite as an extra. All done.

My neighbour is asking now if I can put dimmers on the downlights?.
I should be... they are marketed as 'dimmable' LED downlights.
Its the solo10 brand I got from CEF, but others supply them too.
Does anyone know what brand of dimmer will work with these fittings? They are 10W each and theres 8 in the kitchen, 6 in bathroom and 4 in ensuite.
Kitchen will be a 2 way dimmer, as there's another switch at another door.
The 2 bathrooms will have to be made from a gridswitch system as theres a 2 gang switch for light and fan.
I'm going to CEF in the morning to see what they suggest, but i'd like to know if anyone has had experience with these with a dimmer.

The instructions just say compatible with trailing edge dimmers. I would try a v-pro so you can change the mode.

Varilight dinners like these https://www.screwfix.com/p/varilight-trailing-edge-push-dimmer-1g-1-2w-300w-va/94816 work with most brands of LEDs. They also do a grid versions.

Fitted hundreds of those lights, Varilight V pro worked every time

V-com or V-pro silent dimmers by varilight are the dogs b**locks. Tlc direct seem to be the best prices as well.

V pro there great

I went to CEF to ask about them this morning. They offered me the varilight, but it was a "leading" edge rather than trailing... and the guy at the desk couldn't fathom out what I meant by "a 2 gang gridswitch, with a dimmer, and a one way switch for the fan"

Screwfix it is, then

Here's the grid switch version from TLC 100w 2 way V-PRO Silent Trailing Edge LED Multi Grid Dimmer - White - https://tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/VLGJP100WMG.html

Update. When Screwfix say it'll be delivered by 6:30 pm on Tuesday, they actually mean lunchtime Wednesday. Happens everytime. I should know by now.

Fitted the grid dimmers today. Pretty big units, but I guess that's normal for any dimmer. Had to move all the cables around in the box a bit to get them to fit.
They were all a bit loose where the spindle comes through the front plate, and not easy to tighten. Smallest screwdriver I have just about worked turning the ring nut.
The terminals on the dimmer are tiny. Small screwdriver again, and only enough space for 3 x 1.5mm at a squeeze.

Spoon fed and still not happy! Did you have to work for a living today @littlespark?

Did they do the job though?

I’m on run down to a holiday on Friday... could have done without the squeezing cables into a box. If I’d known, I’d have put in 45mm when roughing.

Neighbour, though. Quick payer. I’ll have the money by Friday.

Yes they did work. I even managed to programme the minimum brightness
