Worth a shot to try a different LED. I have several different kinds, dimmer, no dimmer, etc. and they all seem to work differently. They don't dim from "0 - 100" like an incandescent will do, they have a smaller range. I'd try a different LED or stick to the CFL.

You should try to move the sensor from operation to test mode if you haven't, and if the sensor is set to max range it should be lowered. If you are using LED lights, the usual reason that they flicker is because the dimmer expects high voltages while the LED expects low voltages, so it could be as simple as the LED lights themselves. If the lights are florescent, it might be a different problem. As much information as you could give would be great!Last edited by mawil1013; 10-15-2020, 04:32 PM.

Not worth buying $30 dollars worth no dimmable LED etc, so threw out the auto light switch and put in regular switch.
I bought a GE motion sensor light switch which is being used in the bathroom and a light bar. The Manual on/off works flawlessly, but in auto mode when it switches off three of the bulbs stay on at a dim low power and flicker, whats going on?Last edited by mawil1013; 10-17-2020, 11:18 AM.Tags: None
