QUOTE(colinchoo @ Nov 29 2016, 07:40 AM) The Broadlink TC2 apparently was designed not to use a neutral line. I.e. one to one replacement with normal malaysian switch. Works with higher wattage bulbs perfectly but just not LED bulbs below 7.5W. looks like you need to modify your wiring a bit? .jpg) |

i tot wires making a small loop carrying high current will act like a heater element?
better not to loop the wire inside the switch box. make a clean connection to reduce the induced current |

QUOTE(colinchoo @ Nov 30 2016, 06:43 PM) Yes, adding the capacitor could be one option. But I am thinking if I just want to turn on all 4 lights at once, I can just connect all 4 to a single gang model ? yup, technically it's correct.What I am trying to figure out is will the switch now see the total wattage as 7.5W x 4? i.e. Like just using a 30W LED bulb. The max wattage of the TC2 single gang is about 300W and max 5A, so theoretically more than enough to handle the 4 lights. Am i looking at this correctly? it should be more than 10W and it should work properly. try it out and let us know! |
