If your LED lamps continue to glow faintly after being switched off, this may be due to the connection or settings of the dimmer. Follow these steps:
-
Check the connection of the LED lamps:
Ensure that the lamps are correctly connected to the dimmer. -
Check the dimmer settings:
-
If your dimmer supports both leading edge (phase-cut) and trailing edge (phase-cut) dimming, make sure the correct mode is selected.
-
The mode should match the type of lamp: leading edge or trailing edge.
-
-
Use a dimmer stabiliser if necessary:
-
If the lamps continue to glow faintly after the dimmer is correctly set, a dimmer stabiliser can help.
-
This removes the residual energy that causes the lamps to glow.
-
Install the dimmer stabiliser between the switched live and neutral wires at the lamp:
-
Connect one side to the neutral terminal block.
-
Connect the other side to the live terminal block.
-
-
Tip: Using a dimmer stabiliser prevents any residual energy from flowing through the circuit, so the lamps will no longer glow faintly.
