Discuss We all have problems with LEDs and dimmers... in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

So often we have these difficulties...incompatible LEDs/dimmers...lamps staying lit, dimly and dimmers not doing the job.
I hope to assist a friend who has such problems with his recently fitted new modules with remote control plus control at the switches themselves. These new switches were installed a few months ago, but have just started failing, so won't respond to the remote, nor to "manual" switching...indeed, some just have "died", some work occasionally, or switch on randomly of their own accord.
My question is, has anyone tried these?
Happily, my friend's stuff is all Varilight, so I'm hoping we have a fix, but maybe this would work for other makes?
I have better luck with Lutron switches if they are available across the pond. Good luck
 
Unless its some daft lighting...I only ever now use Vcom dimmers .I tried these "ZENO " ones and they could not work all the time . Once you use a good brand bulb , it should always work
 
I tend to buy both lamps and dimmers from the same source, at the same time. . that way, if there are any problems, only 1 point to go back to. not that I'm buying much lately. spending too much time on my arse, reducing the pain in my knackered legs. I hate being old! at least the head content still works as normal, if you can ever class me as normal.
