does anyone have any thoughts on a 2 way 2 gang remote light switch that isnt the ridiculously priced rania OR is a varilight which needs a slave ?? which can dim 12v downlighters , 1 side has a max load of 200watts ( 4 x 50) and the other side has a max load of 300watts ( 6 x 50 ), so i guess a 3 or 400 watt remote dimmer would be needed

i have found the green-i range of switches that look and work in a fantastic way but they dont appear to make a 2 way 2 gang version

so are there any switches that arnt hundreds of pounds and that dont need slaves to be able to work and are remote ??

ps
by the way if anyone needs a single gang switch that has motion sensor , light level setting , security settings , very slow fade and has a glow in the dark feature go for a green-i switch they look brilliant and i wish i could use one ...alas i blinking cant

Remember you need to add 10% to the lamp wattage for 12v downlighters to account for the transformer. So your wattages actually become 220 and 330W.

well yes and no , on paper yes but in reality No , we dont actually run at 240 v more 220 ish and the same with everything electrical realy , the printed spec is actually an over rating so a 50w bulb probably only runs at 40 something , but its splitting hairs , you are right an additional amount should be allowed for the trannys

the Varilight needs a slave as my switch is a 2 way 2 gang ( 1 side 2 way the other side 1 way useage) , this would be fine adding a slave BUT that in turn is also 2 way to an upstairs landing light , so i would then need a 3rd switch to keep everything running properly

totaly unneeded and just extra expense i realy dont want to incur just for the benifit of running a Varilight


it is a shame but i have a feeling i wont be able to achieve what i want, for a reasonable cost.. shame as everything else in the room is controlled by my Harmony

Depends on what you class as reasonable but it dont get no cheaper than varilight
