Question 2

Does this need ventilation? I was planning on using these in the loft for the upstairs lighting and putting them in PVC boxes along with any connectors etc. This is to keep things neat and safe but wondered if I need to drill holes in the boxes for ventilation? View answers

Question 9

How is this better than the Fibaro Dimmer 2 (which I just bought)? "outperforms all that has come before it" is quite a grand claim - is it just compatible with a broader selection of LED bulbs? View answer

Question 11

Would there be a minimum GU10 number of lights that would not need a Fibaro dimmer 2 ? I have a number of circuits with GU10 lights 6W X 9 in a kitchen and out in a hallway 2 way circuits of 2 each by 2 and a circuit of 4. Would I need a dimmer bypass then for all circuits. View answer

Question 13

I look at the instruction manual for the wiring diagrams. I have two wires coming from the wall and it has no wall switch. When I moved in, it had a cheap strip light with shaver socket and its own onboard switch. I have removed this old fitting. I am planning to install an LED strip light running off 12V. I wish to use the Fibaro Dimmer 2 with bypass 2. When I look at the wiring diagram for a 2 wire setup, it assumes I will have a Wall Switch. This makes the diagram useless to me. Can anybody help with an adjusted diagram please? View answer

Question 14

Can you fit this in the light fitting or does it have to be in the switch socket? I think it probably has to be in the switch but I want to be sure before I start drilling out space behind the switch box. Thanks! View answers
