Thinking of selling my Fibaro Dimmers2s for the Qubino Dimmers

I have a 4 Fibaro Dimmers2s scattered about the house. I want to replace the lights with led bayonets bulbs. This means all 4 dimmers will have a load less than the required 50w. Fibaro are yet to release the dimmer2 bypass relay so I am stuck with either high wattage bulbs or replace the modules.

Anyone else have his issue or an idea on fixing it? A diy relay bypass?

Thanks

Doesnt the bypass relay just add a load to the circuit? Why does it need upgrading?

The Fibaro Dimmers2 cannot use the bypass relay from the Dimmer1’s

Fibaro havent released the Bypass 2’s yet.

So i either wait and stay with the traditional 50watt bulbs.
OR
swap the fibaro dimmer2’s for qubino dimmers and upgrade the bulbs to LEP 8watt bulbs

Hi all, what country are you in? Dimmer Bypass 2 is available in all countries in Europe.

(As it doesn’t contain a radio, you could actually get it shipped from Europe and utilise it anywhere in the world without breaking any broadcast laws!)

Definitely don’t use the Bypass 1 - it will break the Dimmer 2.

Qubino dimmers have comparable performance to Fibaro, but they require a neutral at the switch. If you just have live & switched live (that’s what we have in the majority of properties here in the UK) you won’t be able to fit Qubino dimmers without rewiring.

If you do have a neutral at the switch, it’d be worth buying one LED bulb to try with the Dimmer 2 - the minimum load requirement is far less important when you have that neutral.

Let me know if you have any questions!
