Troubleshooting

Light flickers when dimmed

This usually indicates incompatibility with the LED bulbs. Ensure you are using dimmable LED bulbs specifically designed for use with dimmer switches. Try a different brand or type of dimmable LED bulb.

Switch is unresponsive or does not turn on/off

Check that the power supply to the switch is on at the mains. Verify wiring connections are secure as per the installation instructions. If unsure, consult a qualified electrician.

Dimming is not smooth or causes buzzing

This can also be related to bulb compatibility. Some LED bulbs do not dim smoothly. Ensure the bulbs are suitable for dimming and that the switch is not overloaded. Check that the back box is of sufficient depth (25-35mm) for proper installation.

Switch feels warm during use

A slight warmth is normal, especially when dimmed to low levels. However, if the switch becomes excessively hot, turn off the power immediately and check for loose wiring or ensure the load is within the switch's rating. Consult an electrician.
