![]() The fixtures we use are out of most people's price ranges, but we choose them because of their multiple binning process and claim to stay within 2 MacAdam ellipses on color temp. There are literally thousands of companies manufacturing chipsets, and high standards just aren't widely adhered to. Unfortunately, its a free-for-all right now. I've thrown too much money at this project already, and can't afford to keep guessing. If anyone could help me out with this issue, it would be greatly appreciated. Is there such a thing for home lighting circuits? I'm thinking the load isn't quite enough for the dimmer, so adding the incandescent creates enough resistance. I know in some cars, you need to install a load resistor when converting to LEDs so they don't hyper flash or throw warnings. All my connections seem to be nice and tight, and I feel like everything should be working just fine. :'( Went back to the one incandescent in line and all worked perfect.Īt this point, I am at a complete loss. Installation was a breeze, and was very impressed with the quality for the low price.įingers crossed, I tested it out with all (8) Leds installed. I started thinking maybe the switch is the issue, so I tried out Inovelli's smart dimmer switch. The one incandescent in line did the trick once more. After all were installed, the same issue remained with all LEDs installed. Again, I put one incandescent in the circuit, and the flickering stopped.Īt this point I'm getting a bit frustrated, so I replaced all the cans with new Commercial Electric cans thinking the connections in the old cans might be going bad. I purchased these Philips retrofits, and they looked great after they were installed, but had the same exact flickering issue when all (8) bulbs were replaced with the new LEDs. I had that setup for a few months and decided I wanted to try out some retrofit LEDs for a more finished look. I put back one incandescent in the circuit, and the flickering stopped and worked great. After I replaced all the bulbs, I tried out the dimmer and put it on low, and saw a good amount of flicker (yes I put the dimmer in LED mode). I ended up with some Philips BR30 floods. Since then I decided to try out some LEDs. It worked great for it's purpose, and had no issues with dimming. I bought a Leviton Smart Decora Dimmer a while back, and had it running all (8) incandescent bulbs in my drop ceiling (cans) in my basement. I did try the LUT-MLC resistor with both Leviton and Inovelli switches, and it did not do anything. The Pico remote is a very nice feature to have as well! On the other hand, I'm frustrated I didn't do a bit more homework and just went with Caseta to start with. On the one hand, I'm a happy camper now that everything works. I'm actually able to dim wayyy lower than I ever expected. I bought the Lutron Caseta starter kit from my local HD, and it works flawlessly with all LEDs.
