Hi,
I'm having an unusual problem that I can't figure out.

I have 2 identical LED light fittings in the Kitchen.

I have changed the light switches from a normal Rocker type to a wifi smart switch.

One of the lights works perfectly the other one is flickering.

I checked the connections and they are all tight.

I have neutrals.

Nothing else on that circuit, or any of the other circuits in the house, is flickering or having any problems.

When I put the rocker switch back on, the problem disappears.

It is a 2 gang switch, so I don't think there's a problem with the switch, as the other light works.

Writing this, im thinking of switching the cables around to check the switch, but i dont think that is the issue, so lets assume it isnt that, but I'll delete if it is.

The light fittings are 25w, so I thought maybe it was a low wattage problem, but like I said, the other one works, so.

Any help greatly appreciated!
Eric
 
Problem solved. It was the switch! I switched the cables around and the other one was now flickering.

Got a new switch and it all works!
