The standard dimmer has a minimum load requirement of about 2 fixtures IIRC...Remember that the standard dimmer doesn't have a neutral so it needs to send some current through the fixture to get its own internal sparulators to work. Best solution is to get a neutral version of the dimmer - Pro dimmer perhaps or ELV dimmer but the ELV dimmer defaults to reverse phase so if your lighting can't work with reverse phase, you'd need to change it to forward phase following the instructions in that 30 page advanced manual.
I have the same problem but not sure what the original poster meant by not shutting off. My lights appear to be off unless in a dark room at night where a faint glow is visible. This is the case with the single LED ceiling lamp I just installed in a room, and three LED downlights in another room installed four years ago. These are 3-way Maestro C+L and Companion dimmers in both rooms.I also have a LED lamp outside attached to a remote, always hot motion detector switch. So not a dimmer. This lamp also continues to glow softly. I don't have this problem with another Maestro controlling six lights in a room and another controlling two lights in another room. Do I need to wire a resistor into the hot wires at each problem lamp?
