Has anyone had trouble with the lights being half bright after installing the switch?

There is a very similar looking model from Skylink that has dimming functions. Maybe yours is dimmed. The Dimmable model instructions might tell you how to do that.

No. This switch is the best. One of the models has a dimmer feature. Try holding the button to turn the lights up and down.

Do you have those light switches with a light in the switch? That could be the problem. If so, try changing one the the switches to a non-lighted kind. And no, the LED's should go off all the way.

I've taken mine apart to install new switch. The wiring is pretty basic so if it's not starting there must be a bad connection. I'd suggest taking it apart and making sure there's no hair or something else causing the problem.

I'm also having the same issue with 2 888LM's keeping the lights on constantly. They didn't seem to do it when first installed but nowall the time. I'm wondering if they get more sensitive during colder temperatures.I've turned the motion detection off for now unfortunately.

I had the same problem when I upgraded my porch light to LED. The old switch is more like a dimmer that doesn't go low enough to shut off the LED light. This one has a real switch and will definitely shut off the LED. It makes a loud click when it switches and it misses about 25% of the on or off commands which might get better with a newer controller. Still working on that part.

I have not had any issues with the dimmer switches. The lights work as they should on any setting. They will turn on at the lowest setting. So far I have purchase around 20 of these bulbs to replace the old style lights.

I haven't had any issues at all, unless you call twice as much light a problem - lol.

Just installed one on my boat, and the switch only lights when in the ON position.

I would try looking through the ambx forums. Some users have worked through various issues with these lights and have documented their fixes. Make sure to download the latest software and follow their install instructions. Good Luck!

I apologize for not knowing the correct answer since I did not installed then myself. One technician did it fir me, although this was a very simple issue for him. The lights are working wonderfully. Very much as expected, but the pending question is do they last as long as they are suppose to? Will see.

It's never been an issue with me either. The unit functions perfectly and i have it on the 3 minute setting which seems to over-ride the light sensitive switch.

If it comes on at all, it should be wired correctly. The bulbs and ballast have nothing to do with the sensor, which is what tells the switch to operate. I would suspect the sensor may need to be re-positioned to better see the motion.

on mine, it comes on bright and then you gently push the button to go to dim. if you press the button gently again it goes to strobe. every time you click the light all the way off it comes back on bright

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 haven't had any problem with mine. I push the button - get bright - push again - it dims (not a whole lot). Don't get a flasher - maybe there's another button.

There are several options, but if you depress the switch fully and release, it will go to full bright mode. Once it is on, you can cycle through the brightness modes if you like, or fully depress and release to turn it off.

I returned the lamps. The on off switch failed on the only one I set up. Also, the light was too dim to illuminate the mid sized picture. Reflection was not a problem.
