Our old dimmer switch was buzzing and the led's in the chandelier were flickering so I decided to change it with a new compatible one. But after installing it and using the same wiring method as the exsiting one it would only turn the lights on or off and not dim them, flickering has gone...
Hello,
I recently purchased two Varilight dimmers to replace rocker light switches in my bedroom. My goal is to be able to fully control the lights from both dimmers so I purposefully purchased models that act as Master / Companion Controller. I have not been able to get these Varilight dimmers...
Probably a silly question as I haven’t come across it yet.
On a 2 way switch I assume a dimmable lamp will work ok with 1 switch on a dimmer and the other on a normal light switch? So no dim when the normal light switch is pressed (just on/off) but when the dimmer switch is used the light will...
Novice here wondering what I might be missing. Thanks for any help.
I am swapping out an old switch in the bathroom to a dimmer switch. When I did so, I found out the Lutron switch I purchased, doesn't have the screws on the side that I'm used to. It has it's own wires coming out. I was...
Hi
Total novi e but have wired multiple light switches previously and survived :)
I've bought a nice WiFi enabled dinner switch for a new LED light - the wiring manual says it requires a neutral to be able to function- as you will see from my photo the current switch has COM and L1 and all...
Wrong forum? U.S. here. If yes...my apology.
Naively, I thought the number of wires, and the the wire colors, would match. House was built in 1989 in California.
Thank you....
Is it possible for a single dimmer switch to control two circuits, one which dims and the other which is a discrete on/off? I would like to be able to dim downlights while also switching a non-dimmable bathroom mirror on/off from one switch.
Many thanks
Hi.
In the images. One is a 2 gang dimmer switch and the other a normal 2 gang switch arrangement.
Dimmer 1 controls the main ceiling rose and the second dimmer controls some wall lights.
I'd like to swap out the dimmer entirely for the standard switch only am not 100% sure on the wiring...
Hello. The variable speed switch on our old jacuzzi recently broke. The 120V 11.5amp 50/60hz motor is still functional but parts are no longer available. I tied the switch wires (see pic) and was able to control the speed using a 120v 60hz household dimmer placed directly on the line feeding the...
Hi,
Would like to change existing single pole light switch to attached dimmer switch. I have a live and neutral coming from consumer unit, and live and neutral going to the ceiling light. Both earth cables are joined together. As the dimmer only has three terminals, how do I connect the wiring...
Evening all....
My son is 14, he seems to be taking ultra long baths and showers and the bath/shower room is drenched afterwards.
I have just bought a pretty good inline fan and was planning on fitting it on its own switch as the existing lights are on a dimmer. I would love the fan to come on...
I'm looking for advice on a dimmer to use with this light (Layla - 25 light LED pendant). Normal led dimmer doesn't work, I guess because there are too many led bulbs. Advice/suggestions welcome. Thanks.
Link to the light here - Layla 25 Light Led Pendant -...
Hi,
I currently have 4 JCC LED down lights in my bathroom with a 2 gang dimmer on the outside.
The first dimmer switch controls the LEDs and the second is just a push on and off for the bathroom fan.
The current module for dimming the LEDs is a BG TRAILING EDGE DMTR. When this is down low...
Recently renovated a covered back porch for a customer. Used 12/2 wire on a single 20 amp breaker. The first fixture was a gfci, then a switch (controls 2 ceiling fans), then another receptacle, then a long run to the other side of the porch, about 40 ft. Halfway across that run I spliced in a...
Hello everyone. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
I tried installing a dimmer to a 3-way circuit. The dimmer has a hard switch and a dimming slide. After installing and turning the power back on, both the dimmer switch and the other (non-dimming) switch were able to...
Hello! I am trying to install a smart fan/light dimmer combo switch (Treat life). I have installed one of these before in another location of the house with zero issues so I didn't think doing another one in another spot in the house would be an issue for me. I full well know which are my fan...
I’m looking for a dimmer switch that works well with Sylvania’s 61405 LED wafer lights. Only two lights on the switch. I installed the switch in the picture, and it did nothing.
Thanks for your input.

I guess dimmer switches have a minimum load required for operation. I believe this is the problem I have run up against. In replacing the halogen bulbs in my light fixture with all LEDs functionality ceases. The...
I have a dimmer switch in my dining room. My son was begging me to remove the dimmer switch because he thinks it will burn out the ceiling fan motor (yes it controls both light and ceiling fan together). I told him many times it makes no sense but he never listened. Then one day he decided to...
