# CONNECT SERIES - Can I adjust the dimming range on a dimmer?

## If your lights appear too dim, flicker, or turn off after a few seconds, adjusting the dimming range can often resolve the issue. This guide explains how to fine-tune your CONNECT Series dimmer for smoother and more stable lighting control.

This process lets you fine-tune how low (and high) your lights dim — especially useful if LEDs flicker or won’t dim properly.

---

#### 🔧 Why You’d Do This

- Lights **flicker at low levels**
- Bulbs **don’t turn on at low brightness**
- Dimming feels **too aggressive or uneven**
- You want a **smoother fade**

---

#### 🔁 Step-by-Step Instructions

### 1. Turn the Light On

Make sure the dimmer is switched on and the light is active.

---

### 2. Enter Dimming Setup Mode

- Press and hold the **on/off (power) button**
- Keep holding until the light or LED indicator signals setup mode (usually a flash or change)

👉 This puts the dimmer into adjustment mode.

---

### 3. Adjust the Minimum Brightness

- Use the **dim up/down controls** to set the lowest level: 
    - Increase it if lights flicker or cut out
    - Decrease it if you want a deeper dim

💡 Aim for the lowest level where the light stays stable.

---

### 4. Confirm the Setting

- Press the **power button again** to save the setting
- The dimmer will exit setup mode

---

### 5. Test the Result

- Dim the lights normally
- Check for: 
    - Smooth transition
    - No flickering
    - Consistent brightness

---

#### ✅ Tips for Best Results

- LED bulbs vary — some need a **higher minimum level**
- If issues persist, try: 
    - Different bulb brands
    - Ensuring bulbs are **dimmable and compatible**
- Adjust in small increments rather than big jumps

---

#### ⚠️ Common Mistakes

- Setting the minimum too low → causes flickering
- Not saving the setting properly
- Using non-dimmable bulbs
