Hi all,
Hoping someone can help me out, I have just finished my bathroom and I have wired in 8 spotlights and connected via a 3 wire setup to the fgd211 dimmer. Lights go on off and dim just fine!
Then I replaced each 50w halogen with 8 - 6watt Megaman dimmable leds.
But now the lights turn on and off but dont dim...... I'm stuck.
Fibaro dimmer not dimming LEDs?
Re: Fibaro dimmer not dimming LEDs?
It has some very techy power explanation to it but first off the transformator needs to be able to dim leds. The way dimming is done for halogen spots is different from led spots. It's very techy, I'm not going to try to explain this and screw it up. Another thing for transformators that dim with halogen spots but have led inserts in them, Fibaro has a dimmer bypass module for that.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem!
Fibaro HC2, various z-wave switching, alerting, detection modules.

I looked at that bypass module before. But guessed as I had 8 6 watt led bulbs. That gave me around 45watts, so I should not need one of those bypass gizmos.
For the price I'll give it a try though. Its really annoying.

My philips leds are working perfectly with the dimmer. No issues here.

So I am curious, did the bypass module work?
