How can I stop my dimmer switch from flickering at low and high light settings?

[NovaFitz]

To eliminate flickering in your dimmer switch at both the lowest and highest light settings, you'll need to make a few adjustments. These instructions generally apply, but always consult your dimmer switch's manual for specific guidance.

Here's how to proceed:

1. Adjusting the Minimum Light Level (Least Dimming):

   • Set your dimmer to the minimum light level.
   • Locate the adjustment potentiometer (a small screw) on your dimmer switch. Use a screwdriver to turn it clockwise slowly.
   • Continue turning the potentiometer until the flickering disappears and the light is stable. Avoid dimming the light to a point where it turns off.

2. Adjusting the Maximum Light Level (Full Brightness):

   • Set the dimmer to its maximum brightness setting.
   • If you observe any flickering, use your screwdriver to gently turn the potentiometer clockwise.
   • Stop adjusting the potentiometer as soon as the flickering stops. For optimal performance, turn the potentiometer until just before the light starts to dim.

If the flickering persists after these adjustments, refer to the troubleshooting section of your dimmer switch's manual. For detailed product specific instructions on our [Brand Name] dimmer switches, please visit our website.
