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?
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?
Hello!
I design and build lamps, which has been a simple task so far, but I've decided to dip my toe into the dubious world of 120v LED PCBs for slimmer designs. I'm working on a lamp right now that would utilize three ~4" 120v LED PCBs that are originally designed as ceiling lamp/fan retrofit...
I recently purchased these pathway lights:

After installing them I realized they're too bright, so I installed one of these dimmers:

The dimmer doesn't dim the lights very much. They go from extremely bright to very bright. They are on a 14v...
Hi all, I am upgrading my traditional 2 gang light switch in the kitchen to a smart 2 gang dimmer switch. When I wired up the switch the switch was constantly on and wouldn't turn off.
The traditional switch was wired be one wire into common. One into L1 then the other switch was wired the...
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
Hello,
Question for the experts since I haven’t had this problem before. Working on my sons house installing a 3 way dimmer. Attached is a photo of the switch that was removed. Installed a Lutron 3 way dimmer and both switches don’t function like the should. Connected as per, black to black...
My daughter is asking me if it’s possible to change her double light switch outside her bathroom to a dimmer.
It’s a 2 gang switch that turns on the lights and the other switch does nothing. I think it’s permanently turned on and powers the underfloor heating programmer, flicking that switch...
Hello,
I am a DIY home owner.
1. Are the lights on this ceiling fan able to be dimmed? Do I need special light bulbs for that? Is the light control switch proper?
2. Is the existing fan dimmer switch proper to this ceiling fan?
3. If it is dimmable, what kind of lightbulbs do I need to buy?
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...
Hi all - after some advice please, I currently have a 2 gang dimmer, 1 gang running an outdoor led light and gang 2 running 14 led downlights. I want to upgrade to a 3 gang dimmer so that I can control an additional 2- 4 led wall lights with gang 3. My challenge is that I don’t understand the...
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...
Hi there,
This is my first post as I am new member here. I would really appreciate if anyone can recommend wiring a smart switch called Shelley2 dimmer into an existing circuit that I have here at my house with three switches controlling same set of lights, two of which are 3-way and the third...

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...
I successfully installed one new dimmer switch today, but ran into an issue with the second. There are two one-way switches: one switch operates the light of our ceiling fan and another switch operates the fan. I want to change out the light switch to install a dimmer on it. When I examined the...
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?
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!

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...
