Dimmer led flickering

[LabourForApprenticeship]

Afternoon, i just replaced light switch with click vpsv140 dimmer switch alongside megaman led 40W bulb.

If i have the switch midway, bulb flickers and i can hear electrical buz. Tugg test, cables secure so its not a loose connection.

Switch all the way up/down perfectly fine. No noise whatsoever. Is this normal?

A lot of LEDs are not dimmable, even if it says they are on the packet

Connection not being made or unmade completely.

Is it the correct dimmer for the type of lamp?

LED dimmers aren’t all suitable for normal GLS lamps and vice versa

That is what electric centre gave...

Megaman LED Lightbulb 5.5w B22D Pearl 2800K - https://www.lamps-on-line.com/megaman-led-lightbulb-5-5w-b22d-pearl-2800k.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiAtP_iBRDGARIsAEWJA8iGV19ifswpzKKzKzlVFvNQon-RFGGCmGM2vHWHXRowgeKqWBo8B20aAg_rEALw_wcB

make sure the dimmer has a min. load < 5watts.

I don’t think that is dimmable

Just confirmed by my boss, led not compatible... Blame lies with electric centre!

You will have to replace either the dimer or the lamp with another brand, they are clearly not compatible, not so much a fault just an incompatibility.
