Hi,
I replaced a broken ceiling light fixture with a new one from Ikea.
The fixture is on a dimmer switch.
At max power it is fine, when I slide the dimmer down, the fixture does not dim, instead it starts flashing.
Does this suggest that the fixture is not compatible with a dimmer, or is it not wired correctly? The manual says nothing about dimmers. If a fixture is not compatible with a dimmer, is there some component I can add to make it compatible?

Thanks

Are you using the regular old type filiment bulbs or the newer CFL or
LED type bulbs? Many of the newer ones will not work well with the
older dimmers.
Many will not work with ANY dimmer. The bulbs need to be specified as
DIMMABLE or they WILL flash when dimmed. Been there - done that ...
