Varilight queries

Could anybody confirm these two are enough to start with?

I've ordered 2 of these dimmers and 1 remote.

If you want to replace 2 single light switches with remote control dimmers, then yes, that's all you need.

Did I misread your original post?

I read it as:
"I have bought 2 dimmers and 1 remote"

I have the 3-gang version - had no problems with mine. Looks good and works well. Can get a little warm when on and dimmed (I have 4 lights on each circuit though).
