Operating principle

Bypass (Dimmer) [55] is a bypass for a dimmer light switch. Use it if the compatible lighting appliance connected to the dimmer flickers or does not turn on.

Before installing the bypass, ensure the following:

  • The lighting appliance connected to the dimmer is compatible.
  • The dimmer operates with one type of lighting appliance.
  • The minimum brightness threshold is raised in the dimmer settings.

Only a professional electrician should install the device.

If the problem is not resolved after installing the bypass, change the lamp. Incorrect operation of the dimmer may be due to the characteristics of the lighting appliance. Also, the lighting appliance flickering may be caused by an unstable 230 V~ power supply.
