WALL LIGHTS

[bmorgan]

I HAVE JUST PUT UP SOME WALL LIGHTS IN MY LIVING ROOM BUT WHEN I TURN THE DIMMER SWITCH TO DIM THE LIGHTS THE BULB STARTS TO FLICKER...... WHAT HAVE I DONE WRONG

 

[Lectrician]

How many lamps on the switch?? What wattage??

Dimmers have a max and min loading.

Also, check for a loose connection.

 

[bmorgan]

the bulbs r 40 watt thats the max the fittings request

 

[Lectrician]

How many 40w lamps on the dimmer??

 

[bmorgan]

there is 2 40 watt bulbs in but if i put in 60 watt bulbs in they don't flicker but the fittings only request 40 watt max

get another brand of dimmer, as mentioned dimmers have a minimum rating, it looks like your lamps are too low
