Title: Dimmer Delay Post by Overrunning Project on Mar 25th, 2017, 9:40am Hi We have just had some dimmer switches installed however when we turn them on there is a long delay before the lights switch on. There is also a large delay when you try to dim the lights. Does anyone know what the problem is and how we could resolve this? Thanks |
Title: Re: Dimmer Delay Post by Natedog on Mar 25th, 2017, 2:37pm What sort of light is it dimming? Could be that the delay is a soothing capacitor or capacitive dropper in an led him or fitting that has to charge up / discharge and that's giving you the delay? |
Title: Re: Dimmer Delay Post by Overrunning Project on Mar 26th, 2017, 7:25am Hi Thanks for the reply. They are dimming LED downlights. Thanks |
Title: Re: Dimmer Delay Post by Lectrician on Mar 26th, 2017, 4:31pm You are best using a dimmer recommended by the LED manufacturer. A short delay is normal. |
Title: Re: Dimmer Delay Post by Overrunning Project on Mar 30th, 2017, 9:22pm Hi We have just had 3 dimmable spot lights fitted on the same circuit and their response time is perfect. I don't understand how the downlights take 3 -4 seconds to switch on however the 3 dimmable spot lights switch on immediately? Thanks |
Title: Re: Dimmer Delay Post by Lectrician on Apr 1st, 2017, 6:50am Different fittings? Different LEDs? Different dimmers? Getting the combo right is a challenge. |
Title: Re: Dimmer Delay Post by Overrunning Project on Apr 7th, 2017, 5:10pm The problem looks to be solved. I got another electrician round and he fitted the following - Aurora LED Dimming Module AU-DSP400X. It seems to work perfectly now. Thanks for help |
