I fitted a dimmer switch by daisy chaining the dimmer switch to a normal plug. The challenge is the light flickers at random intervals. If I take the dimmer switch off the lights don’t flicker. The bulbs are dimmable leds. Not an expert.. can I ask what causes the lights to flicker? Thanks in...
our dimmer switch stopped working after 7 years so went to replace it at the weekend. When I opened it up, the black wire was in the common slot and the red wire was in L1 which i thought odd because i thought it needed to be the other way around. Anyway as it had worked for so long that way...
Hi there,
I am looking at specifying a Triac dimmer switch after a PIR and manual override to control several lights, i dont see an issue why this shouldnt work as the Triac dimmer is after the PIR. Has anyone done something like this before and had issues?
I know its a bit unconventional but...

Can anyone sketch me a diagram on how to wire the bits together.
Thanks.
Does anyone have any experience of installing Enkin PDM250 Multi-way dimmer modules? We have 4 dimmers at different ends of the kitchen / dining room, which have been wired two way (with 3 core cables). Each dimmer controls a different light in the kitchen / diner— Downlights, Over Island...
I have carried out home wiring for 60 years as a competent person, for the last 20 years, I employ a local electrician to check my work and sign it off. My new partner’s dimmer switch failed, the push button would not push, so I purchased a new unit. I turned off the MCB for First Floor Lights...
I really need help with this puzzler.
First - I am moderately 'skilled' in day-to-day basic wiring.
My puzzle: I am trying to replace a single-pole toggle with a dimmer to a recently installed chandelier (4 led candelabra-based bulbs, 5w each, stated on box to be dimmable).
The toggle worked...
I am looking at installation of an architectural dimmer, that is will supply 6 channels, with 20A circuits each (2400W ea).
Our hall has can light fixtures. Roughly 50 lights are ceiling fixtures (uncertain if individually channeled, or wired in groups), and about 18 are track lights.
About 24...
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....
Morning All
Got little bit situation going on, causing multiple visits (luckily only 2 mins drive from where we are.)
Client not 100% happy with whatever dimmer set up we have tried to use, either:

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

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...
