I installed a 6 button keypad link to control my outdoor lights. When i press the On button the lights flash on to 100% before dropping back to off and then come on at my set ramp rate.

I've tried removing the swittch from the EISY using the admin console, then doing a factory reset on the switch and then relinking the switch. and resetting the ramp rate. Flicker is still there.

I'm a bit of a newbie to this so am I doing something wrong or is it a defective switch?

What type of load is conected to the switch?

Is the switch a dimmer or on/off model?

Load is 4 25W LED lights in outdoor fixtures

2334-232 6 Button Dimmer Switch

Are the LED lights listed as dimmable?

Yes, they are.

There was previously a 2476D Dimmer Switch controling them, and it worked fine. But, that one was wearing out and you had to puch the button several times to get it to work.

To the other's point, the bulbs need to be eliminated as the culprit. Maybe something happened to them based on the old keypad experience

• Can you remove 3 of the bulbs and retest?

• Do have a different type of bulb to replace the one bulb with and retest?

OK, this just took a weird turn...

My mistake, the bulbs are not LED, they are 100 watt incandesent, 3 of them not 4. (Downsairs has 4)

Took all of the bulbs out except in 1st fixture - works as it should.

Put one back in fixture 2 - not working right

Took bulb out of fixture 1 - works as it should.

Had a spare bulb so I tried putting that in. Didn't matter what combination of bulbs and fixtures I used with one bulb it worked. More than one bulb No Go!

May go and get three replacement bulbs and try that.

There's this obscure comment down in that (most other dimmer) switchlinc's manual. If you've side-by-side double ganged the switch, the rating for the switch drops significantly. If there are 3 in a row its really low.

If your's is multi-ganged, it may have worked at one time but probably over time lead to the the failure of the switch

Interesting, But it's in a triple gang box but with a blank next to it and a standard switch in the third position.

Ok, you're within spec then. Doing the math on the watts of the bulb, it would have been a factor if they were multi-ganged

@MTellevik

You may want to check your netural and ground connections on the KPL.

Being that the issue only happens when the load is increased points to a possible bad connection

Thanks, I will try that and see if it helps
