Touch dimmer lamp not working.

Still a bit dodgy though. A common issue with led dimmability is sudden turn on or turn off when you try to adjust light levels with your dimmer switch. Sometimes the mechanism within touch lamps stops working. Identify the light circuit turn it off and tag it with a note before working with the dimmer switch wiring.

Move the touch lamp to a work surface. Fix a touch lamp by following this straight forward guide. Replace a light bulb plug the touch lamp into the outlet and check its function. If this tab does not come into contact with the bottom of the light bulb the lamp will not work.

A dimmer can t control too many lights or it will surpass its maximum wattage. Many touch sensitive lamps have three brightness settings even though they do not use three way bulbs the circuit is changing the brightness of the lamp by changing the duty cycle of the power reaching the bulb. They are usually just a 2 part plastic box that unclips to reveal a small circuit board with a small chip. If a dimmer is equipped for 500 watts and is given the task of turning on seven lights at 100 watts each it will work overtime and reach burnout relatively early in its suggested life span.

I tested with a filament bulb and the 3 3 positions give low medium high light. Three way touch lamps are a fun and convenient alternative to traditional switch lamps. A bulb with a normal light switch gets full power. Or your led lamps may simply flicker or flash when paired with certain dimmer switches.

Here s how we d describe some of those symptoms. Remove the bottom from the lamp base. Overlamping a dimmer switch is the most common reason a dimmer switch fails. Alternatively it may pull off the base like you pull the lid off.

I ve put in one of your e14 candle bulbs and in position 1 there is no light position 2 is very dim and position 3 is medium dim. I d like to use a dimmable led in a touch dimmer lamp because when filament bulbs blow they often break the touch dimmer. The bottom may be connected to the base with screws. Make sure the replacement dimmer switch has the same amperage and voltage rating as the original switch and is fully compatible with the electrical circuit the light fixture and the type of light bulbs being used.

It is also possible to use an external dimmer switch. Or you may have dead areas as you slide your dimmer switch.
