FGB-002 Dimmer Bypass 2, Black

If you need to fix ghosting (LED lights stay slightly on) when you fit a smart dimmer, then this does the job perfectly. My living room has 14 5W LED downlights, and had a standard rotary dimmer. The downlights were fitted years ago by a previous owner, and are builders merchant cheap no-name ones which also flickered badly when dimmed. I wanted to add smart control, to integrate with my Hue bridge and other lights. Replacing all the fittings with fire rated GU10 cans and smart bulbs, or even just normal LED bulbs would cost way too much. No neutral wire at the light switch, as usual for older UK fittings. So I fitted a candeo zigbee rotary no-neutral trailing-edge dimmer switch (which looks identical to the old dimmer, so happy wife), which works fine for switch/voice/app control. However, as it still draws a little power to run the switch itself when lights are off, the only route to neutral is through the LED lights - and that means that when the switch is off, that small draw is enough to light an LED or two faintly. Better LED downlights might not have this problem, but that means replacing all the fittings and bulbs, which I'm trying to avoid. I tried a different dimmer bypass (which didn't work) but this fibaro bypass works perfectly, I just wired in parallel at the first downlight. As a bonus it also stabilises the downlights better at low power, so I was able to set the dimmer minimum level two clicks lower while still allowing all the LEDs to turn back on fully with no flicker. A few hundred pounds for 14 downlight cans and bulbs to have smart lights without ghosting, or pay an electrician to run a neutral to my dimmer switch via a tricky duct; or this £10 bypass in the ceiling inside the junction box. I know which I'm happier with! Obviously, enough knowledge (and a detector pen) to do basic DIY with mains electric wiring safely is required, and only install when the breaker is off; or get an electrician.

A résolu mon problème d’ampoules qui ne s’éteignaient pas complètement. Très simple à installer : se met en parallèle sur le réseau lumineux.

Ich hatte ebenso die Probleme mit der blinkenden Birne. Nach dem Einbau war sofort Ruhe. Wenn der Platz da ist, kann der Bypass auch direkt in der Lampe angeschlossen werden. Ansonsten in der Dose einfach auf die selben Klemmen wie die Lampe setzen. Eine Seite kommt auf Blau und eine auf Braun. Die Kabel können problemlos gekürzt werden.

semplicissimo da montare e piccolissimo, si nasconde molto bene nella base di ogni lampadario, con questo ho potuto usare il deemer fibra per regolare l'intensità delle luci a led senza avere quel fastidioso sfarfallio che riscontravo in precedenza

Does exactly what it is advertised to do; solve the problem of connected loads which are to low for the dimmer 2 module. Do not tell Fibaro, but it even works to replace the required minimum load completely. So if you just want to use the Fibaro dimmer 2 without a load (for use in scenarios using the flippers only), then this is also your solution.
