Vimar Plana Universal MASTER Dimmer, Phase-Cutting, IP40, Push Button Control, Flush Mount

Overview

The Vimar Plana Series is a universal MASTER dimmer range for flush-mounted AC lighting control in protected onboard interiors. Across the range, it uses phase-cut dimming and supports incandescent loads from 40 to 400 W, electronic transformers from 40 to 300 VA, CFL lamps from 10 to 200 W, and LED lamps or phase-cut electronic LED transformers from 3 to 200 W.

This is the kind of control module used where a boat owner wants cleaner light adjustment in cabins, saloons, or other enclosed spaces without changing the Plana look across the panel. It switches and dims from the built-in push button and can also work from additional NO peripheral push buttons, which is useful when lighting needs to be controlled from more than one point.

The body measures 22.3 x 49 x 51 mm, connects by screw terminals, mounts flush with click-in fixing, and carries an IP40 rating. That makes it a better fit for protected interior locations than open deck or washdown areas.

Variants

This product is offered in multiple configurations that change the finish and the supply standard.

Across the listed variants, the dimming load ranges, push-button operation, flush-mount format, screw-terminal connection, IP40 rating, and body size stay the same. The 230V versions run at 50 Hz and use the 14137 extension format for MASTER layouts, while the 120V versions run at 60 Hz and use the 14137.120 format.

• VM14135.1.SL: Silver finish, 230V. This version suits installations built around 230V AC lighting circuits and keeps a silver Plana finish on the faceplate line.
• VM14135.1.120.SL: Silver finish, 120V. This version matches 120V AC systems and keeps the same silver appearance for projects that use silver trim throughout the cabin.
• VM14135.1: White finish, 230V. This version fits 230V AC lighting circuits and keeps a clean white Plana look that blends with white switchgear and panels.
• VM14135.1.120: White finish, 120V. This version matches 120V AC systems and keeps the same white finish for boats using white interior electrical trim.

Compatibility and fit

This dimmer makes sense on boats with AC interior lighting where lamp types may already be mixed across refit or replacement work. Because it handles incandescent, CFL, LED, and compatible electronic transformer loads in one unit, it is easier to keep the wall controls consistent when the fixtures are not all the same technology.

It is a good match for cabins, saloons, passageways, and other enclosed spaces where flush wall controls are preferred and where the dimmer needs to sit inside a protected electrical installation. For exposed helm stations, cockpit faces, or any location that sees direct spray or washdowns, the IP40 rating should be taken into account during system planning.

Installation and setup

The module uses screw terminals and click-in mounting, so it fits the kind of panel work where space behind the wall box is limited and the installer needs a compact insert. Minimum brightness adjustment also helps when the connected lamps need a little tuning at the low end to avoid an abrupt drop before switch-off.

For multi-point control layouts, the dimmer can be operated from the built-in button or from NO peripheral push buttons. That is useful on board when the same cabin or passage light needs to be reached from separate entry points.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
