Why is Belkin Wemo Dimmer Flickering Lights
- Incompatible Bulbs: Flickering can occur if the bulbs are not compatible with the dimmer switch. Some LED or CFL bulbs may not work well with certain dimmers due to differing electrical characteristics.
- Incorrect Wiring: If the dimmer is not wired correctly, it may cause flickering. Loose connections or wiring mistakes can lead to inconsistent power delivery.
- Overload: The dimmer may be controlling too many lights, exceeding its maximum load capacity and causing flickering.
- Incompatibility with Other Devices: Interference from other electrical devices on the same circuit might add noise, causing the lights to flicker.
- Dimmer Fault: A defective dimmer switch itself may lead to erratic performance, including flickering lights.

- Inspect and Correct Wiring: Turn off the power and carefully check the wiring connections on the dimmer. Make sure all wires are securely connected and there are no loose wires.
- Reduce Load: Ensure the dimmer is not exceeding its load capacity by controlling too many lights. Try reducing the number of bulbs or using bulbs with lower wattage.
