If this switch needs to be replaced what are the symptoms? Would the FL light flicker or in some case not turn on? I am trying to diagnose a problem with my current light

The relay is only one component of the system that makes the light turn on. The light bulb, light fixture, relay, low-voltage switch, or any of the connections between parts could be at fault. You might start with testing the light bulb. If the light bulb is still good, then its time to worry about the rest of the system. At that point I would suggest consulting with a licensed electrician.

I used these to replace old electro-mecanical relays where the symptom was that the light wouldn't turn on.

I am not having that problem with mine it has not blown any circuits, it is plugged into a timer and then into a wall outlet. However mine does flicker and dim on occasion and I am not sure why. I check the connections and it seems fine then one day it is bright again.

Mine does not flicker when either raising or lowering the light level on any setting. Based on this limited data I would conclude that flickering is not normal. LOL, I say that because given a choice between not flickering or flickering, NOT flickering seems to be more reassuring (normal)! Have you contacted the manufacturer?

No, I have not had this problem. I would imagine that there's nothing wrong, simply the light malfunctioning.

It must be defective. Usually when lights flicker there's a loose wire involved. I would return it. Hope this helps.

William, First I would check the ground connection, if you still have a problem I think I would temporarily by-pass the switch.I have not had any problem with the one we purchased , really pleased with it. I have had a fuse that looks good visually have a loose connection inside and cause a problem. Good Luck .

If you have it on a dimmer, you need a compatable dimmer switch. If not, contact Feit, they will send you a new light, I bought 14, one was cracked in shipping, Feit sent me a new one immediately. They were great to work with! Good luck.

If it appears to be a problem with the switch, just get a new one and replace it. It does not cost as much as the hassle you will have messing around with the old one! A simple phillips screwdriver is the only tool needed to do the job.

Leave it alone until it fully discharges. Then leave it for a couple of days more. Then plug it in and let it fully recharge. If the light comes on again, it is probably a faulty switch.

In my opinion, yes. This was the main reason I switched, immediate light, no flickering or warming up.

I have two setup, both on CF bulbs. I have 8 bulbs on one circuit, and one of the bulbs I noticed flickers for a few minutes after you turn them off. Something new I found out, when the power goes out, then comes back on, the lights on these units come on with the power.

Mary - we haven't had that issue at all with our unit. I would test it in a different wall socket and see if the issue repeats itself. If so, I would replace the bulb and, if your lamp strobes again, I think you have sufficient evidence to point to a flaw in the device. Best of luck. Hope you get it going well enough - my wife is delighted with ours. Joe

I would say yes. I had mine replaced. Sent email and recieved new switch. Free of charge. Great set up for the price.

Mine worked fine. Maybe its the light bulb that needs to be replaced. I don't know how to do that. Return it if you can.

I also have two but in different locations. One of them buzzed so I changed the light switch and that seemed to have fixed it. So you might try installing a brand new light switch.

This should work to get your lights back to normal. Mine would either be off or on and since I replaced this part it works right. If u are not to savvy watch videos on YouTube. It is a fast and easy fix. Take less then 10 minutes. If this doesn't work out may be loose wires. But this should fix your problem. Hope everything works out!!! :-)

I have the same issue with Shore Al, original switch was installed in 1999, then replaced incandescent bulbs with CFL around mid-late 2000s, then replaced the switch about 3-4 yrs ago, then now I hear sparking/static sound every time I turn on the light on.I may just convert to energy saving halogen and replace the switch
