Hi all,
I have 5 Philips garden LED lights installed. All connected to a Fibaro dimmer 2 module.
According to the Philips manual, these LED lights support dimming.
When I initially dimmed the leds in HC2, this worked fine. However, after several hours (20?) the lights stopped working .
In HC2 I got a red notification (overcurrent?) and when I opened the led driver (SLT12-700IF) it smelled like burned PCB.
I expected that the way light gets dimmed by dimmer 2 differs to the way this is done by a conventional LED dimmer so I disabled dimming in the settings of this particular Dimmer 2.
Still I suffer that the lights stop working and I get a notification in HC2. Each time, the led-driver smells like burned PCB and after I have swapped that specific led-driver , the issue is gone for some time.
Ugly thing is that I now have already replaced 4 drivers in ~2yrs time and I have no clue what I can do against this.
I havent tried another Fibaro module yet nor did I test if the issue is gone when I remove the Fibaro module completely.
Does anyone understand why I suffer this issue? Is the SLT12-700IF not compatible with Fibaro, even when used without dimming?
Any setting in Dimmer 2 that I can to change to prevent this issue?
Regards,
Jules
