    How do I install this dimmer switch?

    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....

    Bulbs flutter with dimmer

    I have 3 pendant light fixtures with a total of 540 watts of incandescent bulbs connected to a GE electronic dimmer. The bulbs flutter from bright to dim randomly. I have seen this with LEDs before but not incandescent bulbs. What is wrong?

    Question on installing a dimmer?

    The ground wire comes into the box and wraps around the green screw and continues on outside the box. Can I cut that in half and piggy on another ground wire for the dimmer?

    Dimmer switch with discrete circuit

    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

    G4 LED stay on after Dimmer is Switched Off

    The G4 110V 3W dimmable bulbs I purchased work with a dimmer. I can brighten them and dim them, but when I turn the dimmer off, the LED bulbs remain on (the same level as the lowest brightness). I am using a Lutron Maestro LED+ Dimmer. This style dimmer has tiny lights built into the switch so...

    Please can anyone recommend a smart dimmer module for use with Aurora LED GU10s that remembers the dim setting on loss of power so that the lights don't come back on full brightness (or, even worse, remain off) when power is restored? Ideally Wi-Fi controlled. There isn't sufficient space in the...

    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 have a double light switch where one switch is terminated into a wago clip. I'd like to replace these wagos with a socket as I'm not sure what sort of light to put on there. Is there a socket I can use that can be controlled by a dimmer switch?

    Dimmer lights coming on randomly.

    Built house 20 years ago. Half the light switches got dimmers. 2 months ago thru out house lights started coming on randomly 1-5 times a day. All these dimmers couldn't go bad at the same time. What would cause this? Thanks! Albert
