I have two side lights controlled by one switch. They’re 6.5 watt led bulbs and due to size of fitting they’re non smart.

I installed the candeo switch but had issues with flickering and that they wouldn’t power off properly. I bought the candeo led bridge, but can’t seem to get it to work - assume user error. Here are some pic’s - though I’ve also had the response from candeo below:


Hi Robert,



Many thanks for purchasing of our zigbee dimmers.



The bypass needs to bridge the neutral and live, so it is unlikely that you can fit this at the switch. You will need to fit it in the ceiling rose, or across the first LED.



As a reminder, if you are in any doubt whatsoever, I would strongly recommend that you ask a qualified electrician to carry out the work.



Regards
 
Assume I can tape the wire up? No, no neutral. There was a black and red cable. The black cable had red tape on it. this is the first time I’ve opened it since moving in eight years ago.

So turned out my bulbs were not dimmable, so bought two new. Will try and report back. What’s best to trim the copper?
