Hi

I tried many times to configure my LC2 for low energy lights. Unfortunately, I cannot manage it. If I plug in my fluorescent light it starts to flicker. I tried to configure my LC2 to low energy lights with my Beo4 but still it does not work.

Is there an alternative to LC2 where I can plug in LED and fluorescent light? Or can somebody help me with the low enegry light configuration? 

 

Thank you in advance

 

PS: I read somewhere that the LC2 does not support low energy light since 2003. Is that right?

I would have thought it would work if you switched it on to 100% as then it would be putting out power on 100% of the cycle, effectively just becoming an on/off switch. No dimmer is going to let you dim fluorescent or energy saving bulbs if the bulb and ballasts are not dimmable, but if you want to control the on/off aspects of various lights, and the ability to dim dimmable ones, Lutron is one option I would definitely recommend.
