Adjusting Minimum Brightness

For optimal performance with certain LED lamps, you may need to adjust the minimum brightness level to prevent flickering or ensure stable low-level illumination. This can be done using a small yellow screw located on the side of the dimmer module.

• To decrease the minimum brightness, turn the yellow screw clockwise.
• To increase the minimum brightness, turn the yellow screw counter-clockwise.
• If the light flickers at low settings, try increasing the minimum brightness slightly.
