The Lutron Maestro LED Dimmer is considered one of the best LED dimmer switches that ensures no flicker.
The best dimmer switch LED bulbs available in the market are typically those that are labeled as "dimmable" and are compatible with a wide range of dimmer switches. Some popular brands known for their quality dimmable LED bulbs include Philips, Cree, and GE. It is important to check the packaging or product specifications to ensure compatibility with your specific dimmer switch.
No, it is not safe to touch a dimmer switch when it feels hot. This could indicate an electrical issue that may pose a fire hazard. It is best to turn off the switch and have it inspected by a qualified electrician.
There are many resources that offer a step by step guide for dimmer installation. The DIY network has one of the best instructions as well as a video illustration.
Be it a tungsten or LED A19 bulb, both are usable with a dimmer switch. However LED bulbs require special dimmers to work correctly. Normal dimmers, those used for regular tungsten (incandescent) bulbs, use the resistive load of the bulb to allow dimming. Most LED bulbs require other methods to dim the bulb. One stop gap fix to use a regular dimmer is to add a small wattage bulb to the LED bulb circuit. That adds a resistive load to fool the older dimmer. The best option for dimmable LEDs is to ensure you have a dimmer that specifically states it works with dimmable LEDs.
When installing a dimmer switch rated for 1000w in a residential setting, it is important to follow these best practices: Turn off the power to the circuit at the breaker box before starting the installation. Ensure that the dimmer switch is compatible with the type of light bulbs you are using (e.g. LED, incandescent). Follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation, including proper wiring and mounting. Use a voltage tester to confirm that the power is off before touching any wires. Securely tighten all wire connections to prevent loose connections and potential hazards. Test the dimmer switch after installation to ensure it is working properly before turning the power back on.

Yes, LED rope lights can be used with a dimmer, but it's important to ensure that both the LED lights and the dimmer switch are compatible. Not all dimmers work well with LED lighting; using an incompatible dimmer can cause flickering or reduce the lifespan of the lights. It's best to choose a dimmer specifically designed for LED use to ensure optimal performance. Always check the manufacturer's specifications before installation.
Intermittent flickering of recessed lights can be caused by loose connections, faulty bulbs, or issues with the dimmer switch. It is important to check and tighten all connections, replace any faulty bulbs, and consider upgrading to a compatible dimmer switch if necessary. If the problem persists, it may be best to consult a professional electrician for further inspection and repair.
Please check the fuse first. If the fuse is good then the rheostat switch is the next component to test. The rheostat is the dimmer switch you use to control the brightness of the dash lights. It will probably be part of the headlight switch. Best of luck.
I'm going to assume that the switch that's getting warm is the dimmer. Even when a dimmer is working correctly it gets warm and that's just the electronic parts of it. The face of a dimmer is actually a heat sink to help remove excess heat. If you swap out the dimmer you will likely find your problem is resolved. Remember to de-energize the circuit by turning off the breaker before working on it. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. Andy Be aware that a dimmer for lights does NOT work for fans (though it may sometimes appear to work, you can end up with noise, problems such as the light attached to the fan not working, the dimmer getting overheated, etc). So even though it might seem to work at first, you'll have problems, and it's against code to put the wrong kind of dimmer there. You can purchase a dimmer which is rated for ceiling fans at Home Depot or Lowes, but they are more expensive than light switch dimmers. Of course, if there is a single on/off switch at the wall which controls the fan and its light, then you might be better off buying a remote control unit to install in the fan - it will allow you to dim the fan and light separately (and safely). Or purchase a new fan with a remote... ceiling fans are cheap enough now that if yours is old enough, it might be a nice time for an update.
Yes a bad circuit breaker and a bad light switch can cause a light to flicker when its turned on. It could also be caused by loose wiring going or coming from that paticular circuit. it also could be something in the fixture itself causing. Checking for loose connections is your cheapest and first route to go.
