Quote from: Lori Dee on Today at 04:12:06 PMIs that bank on a dimmer? I don't think a loose connection will do that. I have a voltmeter, and we can check the light socket and make sure the right voltage is getting there.

That bank of lights is not on a dimmer, unless there's a third switch somewhere. I've never seen a house with so many light switches. I think when this house was built someone had a sale on light switches and they decided to use every switch they could get. Some are 'on/off', some are dimmers, some are dimmers with separate 'on/off' functionality, and there's even a few multi-position switches for ceiling fans. Like programming a VCR, we need a four-year-old to figure them all out for us.

Love always -- Jessica Rose

Some LED bulbs are not dimmable. Is it possible there is a mismatch? Like a dimmable LED in a non-dim circuit?

All of the lights I installed are 'dimmable'.

Lori and I discussed the issue via text messages. There seems to be something odd going on that doesn't make sense to either one of us. I'll try swapping out some lights to see if it makes any difference. Maybe one of them has a weird fault that's causing the issue. I've worked with electronics long enough to have proved 'Murphy's Law' on countless occasions. I will certainly not be going into the attic to chase the wiring! It will probably be best just to get an electrician out here.

My tooth is still quite sensitive. Any pressure at all is extremely painful. I'll have to stay on soft foods for a few days.

I may need to get some low voltage lighting for the stairs to the front door. Unless there is a full moon, there is no lighting on them at all. We do have an outdoor plug not too far away from the stairs, so it wouldn't be too difficult to set up. I have some solar lights on the stairs now, but they are not very bright.

Love always -- Jessica Rose
