I am curious if the dimming problem has been resolved with the design? It seems a lot of people have been having this issue.

I have not experienced the dimming problem they described. I have noticed that some of the colors are not as intense, red specifically. Other than that I run it for hours at a time and have no problems.

As long as you start it in regular mode high it won't dim. I'm only dim if started in dimming mode (straight up and down)

Try it without the dimmer, the dimmer could be bad. Are the cans/wiring existing, or all new?

try clicking on the dimmer switch in front....each click further dims until the lighted time goes off completely ...click again and it should go full on...

Im not sure this would be it but I do know we had to take the energy efficient bulb out and replace it with a traditional bulb, as the energy efficient ones do not work well with dimmers. I think that was the problem we had too, dont remember.

I have the same question. Looks like the lights are gone with out notice. In fact I thought it's not working since there to light, but looks OK afterwards. What is disturbing is that as an owner of old model I was not aware of the missing lights...

I have mine set that they are full on when motion is sensed. Than goes to full off. No dimming. Nor do I use the timer.

Yes, I experienced this. I purchased dimable LED bulbs that don't burn as hot and it fixed the problem. A little pricey, but worth it if you want to use the light.

Mine does the same thing and it works perfectly - my suggestion is don't worry about the lights - also, sometimes you have to give the system time to change so don't be in a big rush - good luck, I really like it.

The skin tone flashing and auto dimming are two seperate things. My set had auto dim issues (screen going nearly black) and the first update took care of it. I still have the flashing issue, sometimes severe, and the updates do not fix it. Go to avsforum and search it, it's a huge issue with these sets. Type in "red flashing".

I had mine up for about a month before it started to flicker and dim. I put up with it working sometimes and finally went to lowes and bought one that works all the time.

Michael M.I don't know what you are doing but I have several of these and never have an issue. Granted they are not the best quality but no reason for dimmer not to work with them.Do make sure the LED bulbs are dimmable, if they are not you will get a strobe light effect.

Yes I did, but only loosely. The design to screw everything together is very difficult to make work. It is not designed for the end user. This does represent some risk. If the lamp tips over and remains on, there is some chance of fire in the worst possible case. I should also mention that I bought 4 lamps and one of the dimmer switches went out on me immediately. I had a spare that I had previously bought and I replaced the dimmer and the lamp is now working fine.

I think I found an answer to the issue. The problem I had is that I changed the settings immediately to "Dynamic," which raises the brightness significantly, and is only supposed to be used in a very bright room. When I put the settings back to normal everything looks great and the side light issues disappear. I guess I just need to listen to the suggestions of what the different picture modes are for.

I have been running one for 1 year straight, albeit on a dimmer. Turned down a bit, it is not that loud.

I believe you do. The same thing happened to me. I called the distributor of the bulbs and they confirmed that the dimmer model I was using was not compatible. I would recommend calling them to see if any dimmer is compatible, since the specs say they are NOT dimmable. Dimming was not critical for me, so I replaced the dimmer with a simple switch and have had no problems.

The dimmer seems to work well. The only problem that I have seen that it seems to take quite a bit of tunring before the light comes on at all but then starts very dim and goes to full brightness. I also put in a 300 Watt bulb because the 200W it came with was not bright enough.
