Strange quinetic issue

[nicebutdim]

As far as I know they are exclusively available from TLC Direct only, not sure if they are part of the same company or partners.
I have only ever got them from TLC

That might explain why no one over here knows much about the brand. I'd seen Quinetic sime years back on Youtube and found their products interesting. To date I've not had occasion to use such products as I'm firmly of the (perhaps antiquated) belief that hard wiring should be the way to go, where possible.

There's another brand called Ener-J that are functionally identical. David Savery said he used them sometimes.
EDIT I should say similar, not identical. Battery free switch, similar receiver. I believe there is less choice of switch options.

Quinetic do have their own website but it does say on the very bottom of the main page only available from TLC.
I have been using it for many years now and had very few failures considering how many I have installed.
They can make jobs much easier and quicker than hard wiring in some cases, especially finished jobs that don't want another chase and patching up. Now with the flexibility of wireless switching from a tablet or phone they are getting more popular.
I will have to have a look at the Ener-j range as I have not heard of them, don't even remember seeing them on DSES videos.

Think it was this one:

Never had a problem with quite a few standard receivers I’ve fitted. Probably around 20+.

Fitted only 1 dual receiver and 1 dimmable receiver. Both didn’t work properly. Won’t be trying them again. Stick to the standard receiver/hard wire/go with something like Lutron RA2

Just had a quick look at Ener-j website and they look almost identical to the Quinetic version, a lot less in the range as well.
I think I will be sticking with the Quinetic gear for now!

Only ever had one prob with a Quinetic product and have been using them for about 4 years and that was a dimmable reciever

Used Quinetic for years and no call-backs at all. Only hitch, as others say, was with a dimmable setup which I swapped out for non-dimmable. As always, dimming LEDs is a matter of luck if the lamps and dimmer components don't like each other. I did query TLC on this and they told me that their LED panels didn't really like the Quinetic dimmable receivers. I'm not a fan of dimming anyway, and the customer wasn't bothered, so all good.

Just to clarify, I haven't used dual receivers, but will probably avoid those.

Those are what I've used in the past, not in any great volume but touch wood as of yet I've not had any issues with them
