Got a funny. Dimmers are V-Pro. The sort where you can change from

globe type, at switch on at full is fine. But after a few minutes chops
down to a lower level, then chops back up. And continues to do this. Like

Lamp or dimmer?

Have you tried the lamp without the dimmer circuit to see which
component is causing the problem? If fitting the bulb somewhere else
just make sure that it is in the same orientation.


The instructions give another mode of operation (mode 3) trailing edge -
have you tried this?


I'll have to look again, but think this is the default setting.
