My dimmable lights flicker when using a LED dimmer

It may happen that lamps start to flicker when they are connected to a dimmer. This is, of course, not intended, and it’s important to resolve this issue properly.

Possible causes:

  • The lamp is not dimmable.

  • An incorrect type of dimmer is being used.

  • The wattage of the lamp falls outside the dimmer’s dimming range.

  • The dimmer is incorrectly configured.

Pay attention to the minimum load:

Simply add up the total wattage of all LED lamps connected to the dimmer.
For example: 4 lamps of 4W each = 16W total.
The minimum load of your dimmer should be below 16W; otherwise, the lamps may flicker or fail to dim properly.

Multiple LED lamps on one dimmer:

It’s best to keep the total connected load around 10% below the dimmer’s maximum capacity to avoid issues caused by voltage fluctuations.
For example, with an LED dimmer rated 2–100W and LED lamps of 4W, a maximum of 23 LED lamps can be safely connected.
