I have a TP link HS220 dimmer switch that appears to be working correctly with the Phillips 8w LEDs I have. It goes on/off min and max dim with no issues. However, when I turn off the switch there is a slight glow coming from the LED light. This dimmer controls 2 LED lights and you can see the faint glow on one of the lights. :(
The way I installed this is not typical because the circuit actually goes to the light 1st then to the smart switch, so at the switch I have a 14/2. I have the black going to the hot screw and the white wire going to the load. Luckily this switch is installed on a 2 GANG box that also has a fan switch. The fan is using a 14/3 wire and one of the wires is no longer being used by the fan. This was the wire that controlled the fan light. So I took this wire and connected it to the neutrals at the fan box in the ceiling and then connected the other side of this wire to to the smart dimmer on the neutral pigtail (both wires go to the same breaker). Again, all appears to be working but when the switch is completely off, you can see a glow coming from the LED light.
I'm trying to determine if its my wiring that is causing this glow or if its the switch. I'm not an electrician and would appreciate any help in trying to figure this out.
TIA, P
Update, I did eventually get rid of the faint glow with a better bulb. I used the GE reveal 10w BR30 and this removed the glow. I also realize I have some code violations the way I wired things. Since I have no neutral I will be moving to a Caseta dimmer at some point and removing the TP link .
