Review on πŸ’‘ Upgrade Your Lighting with Hykolity Dimmable Recessed Downlight - Enhance Your Space Today by Cody Hunt

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Problem with night light with 3 position switch and dimmer.

See attached image. Of the 4 front lights, the left one is in ON mode and the other 3 are stuck in night mode. I just replaced them in the kitchen niches which are on the 3 position switch. One of the three position switches is a regular toggle switch and the other is a dimmer switch. This is a standard setting in many kitchens. I noticed a problem after 3 days. When using the dimmer to adjust the intensity and then using the ON/OFF switch to turn on the night light, sometimes not all the lights go into night mode. out of 4. Sometimes 1, 2 or 3 get stuck on normal power on or power off. I then have to play around with the dimmer and some ON-OFFs to get all 4 back in sync in the same mode. There is no clear pattern here as to why and which light bulb is stuck. I think they didn't test it enough with the 3 position switch and dimmer combo. The dimmer I have used is Cloudy Bay which is most popular on Amazon and works great in many other places in my house including another 3 position switch (dimmer + toggle) and regular LED dimmers. I think the night light function has this problem. I'm an electrical engineer, although I could be wrong.
