Dimmer 211 and chandelier with 6 bulbs

[plutonium 5]

Hi forum,

 

I need small help from you. In living room I have chandelier with 6 bulbs (dimmable LED) connected on Fibaro Dimmer 211.

 

When I switch off lights, one bulb remains to illuminate. (look at the picture) If I remove that bulb, other one starts to shine...if I remove second, third will shine and so on...

 

Do you have any suggestion what can I do about it?

 

Maybe bypass ?

Proberly bypass.

211 manual says min load 25w

What wattage are the lamps?

6W each. Total 36W.

Hi @plutonium

 

Well, my dimmers 2 control nicely one LED of 6.5 W to group of 7 LED with total power of 60 W, all LED dimmable. But most of them are 3 wire connection. So, my question to you: is this dimmer connected in 2 or 3 wire system? If it is connected in 2 wire system then bypass can really help even total power is 36 W. Or you need to calibrate it again and then play with parameters until it is ok.

I agree. But @plutonium says he has dimmer 1. So he does not have calibration. That version also exhibits higher leakage, both in 2 and 3 wire setup. I'm 99% sure that bypass 1 helps in thise case, I've got one

 

Please make sure it's the right version: dimmer 1 -> bypass 1 and dimmer 2 -> bypass 2. They are not compatible.

@petergebruers, you are right. I should read more carefully. 

 

@plutonium, I have one bypass 1 that I have no use for, so if you need it I can send it to you just send me PM.

Also are the lamps mains voltage or is there a transformer in the base of fitting?, If transformer is that marked as dimmable?

Thanks for helpful answers.

 

@Jamie mccrostie Bulbs are dimmable. 

 

Anyways I will try with Bypass 1 and will see if it will help. I believe it will.
