Why Are My Dimmable LED Bulbs Flickering After Installing a New Dimmer Switch?

Asked By Tw1st3d_L1ght On

I installed a Lutron Diva dimmer switch for my kitchen chandelier, and it worked fine for the first few days. Recently, though, I've noticed the bulbs are flickering, and I'm not sure what to do about it. I've already considered rechecking my wire nut connections, but I'm wondering if there are other things I should check, especially since I'm using dimmable LED bulbs. Any ideas?

There could be a few things causing the flickering. First, check for a loose neutral connection; that’s a common issue. Next, make sure your bulbs are compatible with the dimmer; sometimes LED bulbs just don’t play nice. If you're using LEDs, they should be labeled as dimmable. Also, if you have multiple bulbs, see if one is flickering worse than the others. It can be a specific bulb that's causing the issue too!
