Troubleshooting

Lights flicker when using dimmer

Ensure the light bulbs are LED-compatible dimmers and are rated correctly. Try a different brand or type of bulb. Check wiring connections are secure.

Dimmer does not adjust brightness

Verify that the installed bulbs are dimmable. Check for loose wiring connections. If the issue persists, consult an electrician.

Switch is unresponsive

Confirm that the circuit breaker for the switch is not tripped. Check all wiring connections are secure and correctly installed by an electrician.

One or more gangs not working

Inspect the wiring for the specific gang that is not functioning. Ensure the bulb in that circuit is functional and compatible. A qualified electrician should diagnose further if the problem persists.
