LED lights flicker when off

Check here for a good explanation on the two types of dimmers

Back in the days of energy saver lights, the R&D dimmer was my first choice. Since we moved to installing LED lamps, we have moved over to shuttle dimmers.

Make sure the lamp is dimmable. Most cheap LED lamps are not dimmable.

I use shuttle as well. Tried Synergi on a few as well and so far no complaints and they look almost identical bar branding

I've had the problem before that lamps dont shut off completely with dimmers.

I fault found as follows. Disconnected the supply to the dimmer ... lights off.

Solution was to install a single lever switch supplying the dimmer.

That's clever for the switch to complete cut off. I have heard of a capacitor between line and neutral but what size I don't know.

Thanks for the tip of the single lever, will keep that in the mental tool box haha

I had a similar problem on a project where I installed 5 rows of 6 m long 230 VAC strip LED lights under an outdoor stairwell, contacted shuttle, they advised which dimmer to use and the "yellow" capacitor . Problem solved.
