Default Varilight V-Pro dimmer driving LED downlighters - not turning off

Maybe the way ahead is a very low current filament lamp somewhere just
enough to make it think its got a load.

I've a new extension which has 2 banks of downlighters (one bank of 6

When I turn the lights off, they are staying on but going to a really
low, barely perceptible level.


Does the total load conform to the minimum stated on the dimmer?


Just looked, and in the notes says not suitable for LEDs that need triac
control. But not sure what they might be.

I've got a few of the V-Pro modules and they are fine even with a very low
load. But have a normal push on/off switch.
