Smart Lighting and Dimmer Installation in Accrington

Smart lighting and dimmer installation in Accrington. Dim, group and time your lights from a switch or a phone, with dimmers matched properly to the LED fittings so nothing flickers or buzzes. Fitted, set up and tested.

Matching Dimmers to LED Fittings

Most dimming complaints come from a dimmer built for halogen driving LED lamps. LEDs draw a tiny load, so an old dimmer cannot see them properly. A trailing edge dimmer rated for a low minimum load clears up both the flicker and the buzzing.

More Information

Scenes, Grouping and Timers

Smart switches let you set a group of lights to a level with one press, so a room drops from bright to low without touching each fitting. Timers can bring lights on at dusk while you are out. The wall switch keeps working as normal.

Wired Smart Switches or Smart Bulbs

Smart bulbs are cheap to start with but stop responding if someone switches the wall off. Wired smart switches control the whole circuit, keep the normal switch working and cost less per light in a room with several fittings. We fit either.

About us

Smart lighting only feels smart when it works every time, and that comes down to matching the hardware rather than the app. We check the fittings, pick dimmers rated for them, run a neutral to the switch where one is needed, and set the system up with you before we leave.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do my dimmed lights buzz in my Accrington home?

The buzz usually comes from the dimmer and the LED driver struggling with each other. A leading edge dimmer on LED lamps is the common cause. Changing to a trailing edge dimmer rated for the load normally stops it. We can test this on a visit.

Do smart switches need a neutral wire?

Most do, and older switch positions in UK homes often have only a live and a switched live. Where there is no neutral, we either run one from the ceiling rose or fit a switch designed to work without. We check the back box first.

Will smart lighting still work if the internet goes down?

The wall switches keep working, and most systems keep local control through a hub. What you lose is app control from outside the house and any voice assistant that needs the cloud. Schedules stored on the hub usually carry on running.
