    Any way to overcome the minimum load for an LED dimmer switch?

    Per this document: https://www.lutron.com/TechnicalDocumentLibrary/048487.pdf I guess dimmer switches have a minimum load required for operation. I believe this is the problem I have run up against. In replacing the halogen bulbs in my light fixture with all LEDs functionality ceases. The...

    How do I remove a superglue from a dimmer?

    I have a dimmer switch in my dining room. My son was begging me to remove the dimmer switch because he thinks it will burn out the ceiling fan motor (yes it controls both light and ceiling fan together). I told him many times it makes no sense but he never listened. Then one day he decided to...

    Dimmer switch confusion

    First off, I'm clearly not an electrician and I'm sure the answer is simple, but I didn't want to go messing with the wires without being sure. I wanted to change to a dimmer switch, so I've got some dimmable LED bulbs and a Varilight V Pro dimmer switch. When I took the old switch out of the...

    Oldest domestic dimmer switch

    What is the oldest dimmer switch you have seen in use recently? When did you install your first dimmer? (Veteran sparks only) I ask because a friend recently sent me a link to a 'news' story about an old toaster still in use, which I don't even really see as an old toaster (OK, yes, it's older...

    Wondering if anyone else has had this, getting 24v between live and neutral at pendant when dimmer is off, which means the light isn’t fully going off it’s still sort of glowing.
