Led dimmers & led lamps generally give me more grief with customers than the old filament lamps. Even with matching brand of led dimmers and led lamps, they often flicker or just pack up. I've also had a customer replace 1 single dimmable lamp for a different make & the rest of his 9 led dimmable spots started to strobe badly at certain settings. Nowadays if a customer requires dimmable led's i try to talk them out of it.
I have the same exact issue even when I use the V-Pro programmable dimmers that are very expensive I end up with issues and the client thinks it’s my fault! I try to explain the complications but it only makes it worse! I too try to talk them out of using dimmers.
Enjoyed that. Thank you
Thank you Lee, very much appreciated comments. Lots more to come. Dave.
Thanks again for a great video, this certainly helps as I come across the flicker issue all the time. Appreciated
If the video helps to solve some of the problems, great. Thanks for watching.
Really good. I didn’t know much about this. My learning has definitely improved. Thankyou.
You're very welcome, appreciated comments.

Interesting contributions. Thanks for responding and yes, sometimes we wonder why we try to "improve" things.
Brings back memories of many lost hours chasing problems not of my making. As you say, try telling the client that.
Very educational
Happy it helped.
Sometimes you have to add a 1-6Uf capacitor to smooth out the flicker at lower dim levels. They should put these into circuits in the first place
Great input. Thanks Martin.
Currently losing hair with DALI 😂 everyday is a schoolday!
Stick with it, you'll be a better person when it makes sense. Dave.
@@learnelectrics4402 Thanks for the excellent content every week.

Thanks Brian, thank you for your support. Dave.
LED dimmers are crap.
LED internal dimming with PWM also sucks.
We live in a cheap world.
Thanks for your input and thank you for watching.
