Old Dimmer switch

[dan2002]

I give up! We have both recommended dimmer and lamp combinations which are known to work and you initially ignored that advice and went with another. I then recommended lamps which I know work with a recommended dimmer, but you would seem not to have taken note of that. Now you are asking if yet another manufacturers lamp will work - how can anyone possibly know unless they bought them and tested them?

Well mate as I have stated I will find it difficult to get it from these retailers

But how can you possible expect us to know, without ourselves buying and testing them?

I am asking if you lot would recommend these. Mate I am well aware you don’t have these yourself. If I had the chance I would 100% get yours

Any reason why you actually need a dimmer?
If you was to fit a standard switch, then any bulb that you have purchased will most certainly work with no delay or flicker, Led are cheaper to run so not a major cost issue having not dimming, you seem to have a selection of lamps now, so maybe you can pick a brightness to suit.

That is a valid point. A standard switch would give me no problems but I like a dimmer because you can adjust the brightness when needed. The 60W bulb I currently have is dark, its not bright enough

Do you have Alexa? A smartphone?
Forget the dimmer switch, get a smartbulb.

Yeah - but - apart from that they are pointless.

I do have an iphone which I can use but it will be slightly annoying to go on your phone every-time to adjust the brightness etc.

Thats true. I have asked an electrician to have a look at it. If it still flickers might just get a standard switch. Thats the last resort

I need a bayonet b22 cap. Thats a screw type bulb.

My new bulbs came from Amazon. They seem to be working fine. Hopefully they don’t flicker. Its slightly more brighter aswell. Hopefully it performs great!

 

[dan2002]

But its still dark. Its 100w and its still dull

When I change the driving mode it goes bright, then after the brightness dims. I don’t understand why. I have done all the steps on the manual. Is the dimmer not suitable?

 

[dan2002]

I fiddled with the modes and mode 1 worked. It goes fully bright when clockwise and dim when on anti clockwise!
