I installed the switch and it worked fine for about 30 seconds. It switches perfectly between levels but WHEN SWITCHED OFF,IT COMES BACK ON AT LOW!WHY

It must be getting a signal before your hand leaves the lamp area and jumps on to the first step. If it is a wall lamp, does it have a cord cover that is touching the body of the lamp? That could cause a false trigger.

Strange, don't have any suggestions other than it maybe bad as it is not suppose to do that and imagine it would drive one crazy. Is there anything close to it that may interfere with the touch bar?

Use this address and look under "Chang The Lamp's Capacitance". It looks like you may have a defective switch. http://www.ehow.com/how-does_4885267_touch-lamps-work.html

Just a thought: I have a lamp that only does this when I use an LED light bulb. A regular incandescent lamp turns off. The LED light goes to the level of a dim nightlite. Not sure why the difference.

Mine has actually High,mid,low, strobe,SOS. The transition from high to mid and low is barely noticeable. The way I made the switch it tap and hold the switch so it switches mode. Another reason for yours might just be three modes

I'm having the same problem on 2 seperate switches, bc I bought 2. Wiring is correct as I'm using a voltometer to identify the hot/neutral wires. Ground is also wired correctly. The settings have been adjust, still both switchs just "flash" once "on" =(

Try to do a manual reset and see if that works first. When you do a manual reset ( see instructions) you can then start over again. This timer/switch isn't at all hard to set. I set mine when I first got it and plugged it in and its been running almost a month now without fail. Hope this helps out.

Not a clue why but both of mine did the same thing. The unit works well once installed.

mine had a switch on it that froze up after it was jammed down to hard by a 5year old who was playing with it. Switch had three options: off, on, flashing.

My husband said that shortly after installing ours did that and we just turned off for ten minutes, then it worked okay. He did re-check the timer setting and that was okay. So might need to check and make sure its on a time to go off. If it set for a long time till it goes off then that might be the cause.

Mine do fine until you get to very low levels. Also seems to be sensitive to how quickly you move the dimmer- slower is better for avoiding a flicker.

If you have the timer that is supposed to ramp light up and down, it only works if you have light on full. If you have light set on any other mode it will flicker when ramping on and off. Hope this helps

It worked OK after I contacted the Mfg and reset it, after the problem I ordered a manual dimmer switch and replaced it. The manual switch works 1st time every time.

Mine works but not well. I get best results when I repeatedly operate the switch instead of just holding it.

I initially had this problem, too. There is a tiny switch on the body that changes the output. Change the position of the switch ... or maybe you just have a faulty product.

The switch on this product stop working for me within a few weeks of purchase. I suggest you return it for a refund immediately- if possible.

I am guessing you have a defective one. Mine works perfect; on/off and nothing more.

Have never had that problem, and we have two of them. I would say its a malfunction. Either a problem in your wiring or a defective switch.

I actually had same problem, but, after a few times in and out of case it just started working, (so I didn't send back). could have been the switch as well.

Sounds like on\off switch is defective. Try using some canned air around edges of switch. May have a grain of sand holding it open. Just a thought. Jim
