The switch to smart meters was long before I got my FGD212. Peter, when you say that 3.3 is on the same level as dimmer 1, does that imply it doesn't have the oscillating effect?

On the other hand, the DC power supply is guaranteed to filter out the disturbances and it is a lot of fun to have RGB(W) LED strips.ДЄfraid I'm in the same boat here (Antwerp area) and the oscillating is getting incredibly annoying with no apparent way of fixing it And you need to find a way to convert your light fixtures to accept different lamps, so I wouldn't call it an alternative. Of course, you need the space to mount the power supply. They only alternative solution that I know of is switching to a 12 V or 24 V DC system, then use the Fibaro RGBW controller. I have both dimmer FGD-212 V3.2 and V3.3 and I think the newer one is on the same level as 'Dimmer 1', but the V 3.2 is more sensitive to disturbances. After 1-2 seconds, all is back to normal. That's when the dimmer seems to dim up or down, and in some cases even completely switches on or off. Usually it happens between 22 h and 1 h and I see no pattern to it (these events occur during daytime too, but I didn't try to catch one). On screen, it looks like the sine wave compresses and expands over a period of 1-2 seconds. So the voltage is clean and doesn't change, the sine is clean and doesn't get 'wavy', but the frequency briefly deviates from 50 Hz. It was a phase (frequency) instability on the grid. I was able to record a 'disturbance' on an oscilloscope and it wasn't the expected 'wavy signal' on top of the base sine. You could try a 'Philips Warm Glow' LED but only if you have 'bypass 1' connected to the dimmer, because the LED will glow a bit when the dimmer is off.Д«ecause the 'flickering' isn't always at the same time, and not always lasts for several seconds but can be much shorter, I have speculated that it isn't only the CAB signal, but also the switching of transformer stations, to control power and voltage. But because the old dimmer doesn't bother me I'm not proving anything here. I own two of these, connected to 'Philips Warm Glow' lamps, and it's OK. It would be interesting to know if 'Dimmer 2' would work better for user 'Kime'. Please login or register to see this link. I've researched this a few times and it would seem that in the Netherlands they use different frequencies, I'd say it's often reported from the Netherlands. Maybe it's because I'm in an area with 'smart meters' where they don't use that kind of signaling anymore. Maybe it depends on where you are (frequencies differ). And I have 7 'old' dimmers, never saw a 10 sec period. Thats why all dimmers give the same effect at the same time.I agree with you but there is one odd thing. The flickering is caused by a high frequency signal (TF signaal) put on the mains to for example turn on or off street lights and let energy meters switch from day to night or weekend tarrif.Дue to that frequency, the dimmers see more zero crossings, and as it is controlling the light level based on the zero crossings, you get the flickering of your lights.
