Overview

The Vimar Eikon universal master dimmer push button is a flush-mount phase-cut dimmer for onboard AC lighting circuits, with versions for 120V/60 Hz and 230V/50 Hz systems. It handles incandescent loads from 40 to 400 W, electronic transformers from 40 to 300 VA, dimmable CFL lamps from 10 to 200 W, and dimmable LED loads from 3 to 200 W.

Control happens through the built-in push button or from external NO push buttons, so the same lighting circuit can be switched and dimmed from more than one point. Minimum brightness can be adjusted at the device, and the control stays visible in the dark, which is useful in cabins, passageways, and other low-light interior spaces on board.

The body is thermoplastic with a matte finish, screw-terminal connections, and IP40 protection. Depending on version, the dimmer measures about 22.2 to 22.3 mm wide, 49 mm high, and 50 to 51 mm deep, so it suits compact flush installations in protected interior areas.

Key features

• Phase-cut dimming for AC lighting circuits in either 120V/60 Hz or 230V/50 Hz systems
• Supports incandescent lamps from 40 to 400 W, electronic transformers from 40 to 300 VA, dimmable CFL lamps from 10 to 200 W, and dimmable LED loads from 3 to 200 W
• Built-in push-button control with support for NO peripheral push buttons from additional control points
• Minimum brightness adjustment to help tune low-end dimming on compatible lamp loads
• Screw-terminal wiring in a flush-mount body with click-in fastening
• IP40-rated device with a control that remains visible in darkness

Variants

This range varies by line voltage and finish. Versions are available for 230V in grey, silver, and white, and for 120V in grey, silver, and white.

The operating format stays the same across the range: push-button phase-cut dimming, the same supported load families, flush mounting, screw-terminal connection, and IP40 protection. The 120V models pair with 60 Hz systems, while the 230V models pair with 50 Hz systems.

Compatibility and fit

This dimmer is a good match for boats that use Vimar Eikon devices in cabins, salons, passageways, or other protected interior spaces where a flush finish matters. It is not intended for exposed locations, and this range is not for Isoset enclosures.

Installation and setup

Before fitting one to a vessel, the main points are matching the boat's AC voltage and frequency to the correct version and confirming that the connected lighting load falls inside the supported dimming range. That matters on boats with shore-power conversions or imported electrical equipment, where 120V/60 Hz and 230V/50 Hz systems may look similar at the switch face but are not interchangeable at the circuit level.

It also suits layouts where dimming is needed from the main control point and from additional normally open push buttons around the cabin. That setup works well when one light group is used from an entry point and again from a berth, companionway, or seating area.
