mpeccon Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Hey Guys, I just had a company come over to the house to do a system takeover (long story). Well, I decided to also add additional things in the house. One of those items were a 6 button programable switch and four of the outlets you plug into an outlet. They had no issue with getting them to turn on and stay on. However, apparently they are dimmable outlets. The problem is i have LED upper/lower cabinet lights that plug into those outlets so when they get turned "off" apparently there is still a small voltage that go through the outlets so the flicker. Has anyone run into this issue and if so, what is the fix? For now we just unplugged them because the technician wasn't sure if there were ones that didn't have the dimmable feather (that would solve the issue).

Just to clarify, they flicker when the power is off? On something like this I've taken something else and plugged it into the outlet as well. For exmple a LED nightlight. Just something that draws power, even if not a lot. That has taken care of my LED bleed problems before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 What outlet dimmers do you have? The Control4 branded ones? Then yes there are outlet SWITCHES available as well. alanchow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
