A while ago I installed 12 low power LEDs on a 2-way circuit, they were cheap LEDs from Home Bargains, but were labelled as dimmable. They worked fine for weeks on the standard switches. I decided to change one of the two switches for a cheap dimmer switch I found on Amazon. This worked but produced a noticeable flicker at various settings on the switch. I then bought a more expensive dimmer switch from Screwfix, which was rated down to 0W. When I installed this, it worked as a switch, but it did not dim at all, it is either on or off! It has a programmable function which seems to work, but none of the three settings allowed it to dim or seemed to change its operation in any way. Before I go back to Screwfix and complain that it isn’t working, I wanted to know if there is something I have missed. Is it the fact I am trying to dim 12 bulbs at once causing a problem, or something else? Any advice would be very gratefully received.
(The new switch is a Varilight V-Pro 1-Gang 2-Way LED Dimmer Switch)
