Thread: Selection of Downlighter in the UK

  1. #1

    Selection of Downlighter in the UK

    Hi all, hopefully im the the correct forum.
    Ive just purchased a RA2 starter kit with dimmer, plus a smart LED downlighter.
    Evidently the downlighter continued to flash, so i guess this isnt compatible.
    Ive looked on the Lutron selection tool, which isnt any help what so ever.
    So, if there is anyone in the Uk, with the knowledge of a compatible downlighter from any well known online shops, could you please share the info.
    Thanks.

    Not from the UK but... make sure your bulb/fixture is dimmable. Non-dim bulbs are considerably cheaper and tend to catch the eye first.

    Also make sure your bulb/fixture is dimmable with a forward phase, incandescent, or leading edge (all names for the same thing). Otherwise you will need a special reverse phase/electronic/trailing edge dimmer.

    Hi there RandyC, thanks for your reply.

    Yeah, i initially tried a dimmable Smart downlighter (With RGB), but this didnt work, so i tried a dimmable downlighter with CCL (Switch to change the white colour) by Bright Source. This seems to have done the trick.

    Hi DallasTheDog,
    Glad to hear you have it up and running effectively, for future reference it would be best to steer clear of any smart bulbs with our system as all of our dimmers and switches are not compatible with smart lights of any kind.
