Trying to solve a flickering issue with an led fixture connected to a dimmer.
I didn't install it originally.
It seems like the best/simplest way to solve the issue is to replace the dimmer with a regular switch.
The dimmer is connected to the light via wires soldered onto it's circuit board.
There is another connection further up the wire that is taped up, presumably where the dimmer's wire meets the light's regular wire.
The taped up connection point is too far from where the regular switch will be, so I can't just connect the new switch to that connection.
My question is as follows:
Can I cut the wire closer to the dimmer, and just connect it straight to the new basic switch?
What would be the problem with connecting the two wires? You're asking if you should use a junction box? Or if?
Yes a dimmer many times will cause the lights to flicker so swapping that out and putting a regular decora switch would help, or for the matter of fact any type of switch.
I'm not quite sure what you mean it's soldered onto the board, what board are you referring to?
Do you mean the LED board of the light fixture?
Are you saying that the fixture came with the dimmer switch built in?
did the flickering come on all of the sidden or just recently after playing around with the wiring?
A bit more info would be helpful.
