V pro dimmer up in smoke

[chris day]

hello guys

I have been using the varilight v pro for quite some time now and today turned the power back on and the dimmer worked perfectly well, dimmed up and down x4 5w megaman LED GU10 lamps.
Then after 30seconds the switch started smoking.
checked common and switched feeds are correctly configured and turned the juice off.
What could have cause this to happen I am stumped guys as a second V pro also done the same thing.
I then whent for and Aurora One and was fine.

Have you tested the circuit that is connected to the dimmer? You may have a fault.

All the lampholders are new Gu10 with new gu10 megaman 5w LED lamps, the aurora dimmer worked fine and so did the older leading edge dimmer

Are you getting the slight , no response delay you get with some dimmable bulbs .
(asked more out of interest than a fix!)
..No Mega-man experience!

Yes with the vpro there is always a delay

(was thinking arcing contact / long inductive wiring)
(it is wired in T&E ?)
..New stuff probably makes that less likely
