I just bought this to install with my 7 recessed LED lights. They do not dim correctly. They flicker and the dimming is very off. PLEASE HELP

Since you didn't describe the type of LED lights, it's hard to give you a good diagnosis. As others and I can attest, this does work with dimmable LED lights (mine are 2 PAR30s on a track). I will note that switches like this have a minimum load that's required. If you are using LED MR16s, 7 of them won't have enough load to work properly. On one setup, with just a single 15W LED, the light would not go off. I added a 20W halogen in the circuit and it works fine now.

It works fine with my recessed LEDs. Perhaps your LEDs are not dimmable or not wired correctly. I have multiple circuits controlled by LRM-AS120 mostly with Lithonia Lighting 6 in. Recessed White LED Baffle Downlight Model # 6BPMW M4. Very smooth dimming.

What kind of LED light bulbs are you using? Typically with my experience its usually the bulbs that cause the flickering. These evolve dimmers work very well on most DIMMABLE led bulbs. Try ecosmart bulbs from homedepot or any lighting science led bulbs made for dimmable capabilities. Best of luck!

I am using these with LEDs. Did you hook up neutral and are the lights known to be dimmable? Not all LEDs are...

I had the same problem with one switch I installed. I took it back out and found the ground was not tight. Once correct, it has been working fine. I am dimming LED's and they are smooth and flicker-free. My advice would to be certain the switch is grounded correctly. Hope that fixes it for you.

Likely not having the neutral wired & properly connected is the issue. These switches need constant power to power themselves which only works properly when a neutral is present. Older homes will have this issue more than newer homes, all else equal. If neutrals are present & wired correctly then bulbs could be the issue. But I have more than twenty of these switches dimming LED lights of several different kinds and brands. They all work beautifully. Best of luck!

Jennifer, they didn't work at all for me. The lamps would not stay on. I bought them because the swiitches on our lamps kept stripping out. We would up just having the switches replaced. The dimmers went in the "i bought it but it doesn't work" graveyard.

I've installed several of these with mixed results...Most have failed completely, and I've tried to return two each that have never been opened without any results...There are better products available for less money...!!!Try Amazon #B004X4O1NG - EVER RF Dimmer of LED Strips, LED Ribbon, LED Lights, Wireless ControlThese are the best buy and I've experienced no failures and in power outages they return to whatever state they were in prior top the outage.Good luck

That would depend entirely on your LED lights. Check to see if they are dimmable.

You really need a dimmer that is made for cfl and led bulbs. This one might work but it will flutter on low .

It must be defective. Usually when lights flicker there's a loose wire involved. I would return it. Hope this helps.

I installed this using a LED lightbulb. It does dim but when you press the dimmer switch to turn off, it doesn't turn off completely. These same light bulbs are advertised as dimmable and work well with other dimmers (some specifically for LED light bulbs). However, this dimmer seems not to be completely compatible.

Michael M. I don't know what you are doing but I have several of these and never have an issue. Granted they are not the best quality but no reason for dimmer not to work with them. Do make sure the LED bulbs are dimmable, if they are not you will get a strobe light effect.

If you have it on a dimmer, you need a compatable dimmer switch. If not, contact Feit, they will send you a new light, I bought 14, one was cracked in shipping, Feit sent me a new one immediately. They were great to work with! Good luck.

It is probably the crappy dimmer they use. I bought a cheap in-line switch and simply cut the dimmer-switch out. I also replaced the bulb with a 2.6 watt LED from ebay. Now I leave it on all of the time and it uses almost no power. (If you go with an LED try to get the shortest one you can. E12 candelabra base. And small LED's do not work well with a dimmer. They tend to flicker.) Good luck

In an earlier reply I stated that this switch does not dim LED bulbs. As it turns out I just didn't hold the button down long enough. It's not the best dimmer around, but it is reasonably acceptable.

I bought one at HomeDepot today and it does dim my dimmable LEDs which I recently purchased from Costco. No issue at all. In fact most of my old 1980s dimmers work fine for these bulbs. I guess you just need bulbs that say dimmable. They dim to a very low level with no flicker. The bulbs do not power off with the dim lever set to the lowest setting which I find useful. If your bulbs are dimmable save yourself 19 bucks and buy this. I bought one at HD and will buy 5 more here to save a few bucks.

there are special dimmer for LED it should say on the box if they are compatible. the difference is LED's cannot go as low as a regular bulbs, so led dimmer have an adjustment for that.

I am not sure as I have not tried to add a dimmer yet. I would like to. Let me know if it works for you & let me know what dimmer you use

it may be because there is not enough resistance with just a couple of LED bulbs. I have the switch on my front yard with 6 LED lights without any issue. The only other thing I can think of is some LED's are polarity sensitive. They work either way, but if the nutural and line are reversed (and the fixture isn't grounded) it might flicker. Wish I could be more help...

Two things about dimming. My dimmer was not compatible. Check the Philips list of ones that work perfectly.In spite of not being compatible they would dim way down. I dimmed the hall lights so our Video room would not have a glare from them. My guess would be over 80 dim. Not as good as old fashioned dimmers on a dinning room chandelier with incandescent lights but fairly close. Also be sure you have enough lights to meet the lowest wattage needed for the dimmer. Sounds complex but it isn't really. If you would like the PDF file with all the dimmers that work email me. I lost the site but have the list jhsnowden@ev1.net Two things about dimming.

You are not supposed to dim any CFLs that I know of. That's one advantage of LEDS. However, I have dimmed CFLs in the past, maybe I was just lucky but nothing happened other than they got dim. I try to avoid it though.
