Electrician has wired in a Lutron single maser Rania dimmer (450w rated) that powers 5x35w downlighters and a bathroom tile fan which is also on a isolater switch. Before anyone asks the dimmer switch is not in the bathroom its on the landing wall.
When the dimmer is put on to almost full brightness and the fan running the lights begin to flash, lowering the dimmer to just over half way the lights are fine. Running the lights with the fan off via the isolater and the dimmer goes and works on full.
What is causing the issue? The lights are puling 175 watts, not sure what the fan is puling but surely it cant be over 250 watts.
Any ideas as the sparky has gone for the day.
