Flickering lights
MPOST:
M I have some wall sconces that are hooked up to a dimmer switch. When the M switch is completely turned off, the sconces will occasionally flicker on M (very dim) and then off again. Any idea why this might be happening? I would replace the dimmer. It sounds like the dimmer is not shutting off completely (more accurately, almost off). Here we have several dimmers controlling various wattage loads and at 'full dim' none have the load flicker on or even come on then go off again. I have had what you describe when the dimmer is set to have the light bulb barely come on (or barely shut off). Changes in line voltage will cause the bulbs to barely come on or extinguish, depending on the setting. - ¯ barry.martinþATþthesafebbs.zeppole.com ® * OLD FOLKS' PARTY GAMES: 20 Questions Shouted into your Good Ear --- þ RoseReader 2.52á P003186 þ The Safe BBS þ Bettendorf, IA 563-359-1971 --- þ RIMEGate(tm)/RGXMod V1.13 at BBSWORLD * |
