Fibaro dimmer 2 icm Bypass install question...
Hi all,
I have been reading into installing a fibaro bypass 2 for led lights below 25W.
I have a set of garden lights (Total 25w) and a dimmer to switch it on and dimm it.
The system is the following
http://www.toptuinmaterialen.nl/in-lite-trafo-cb-056-m-56-watt.html?source=googlebase&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8tfU7YvN1gIVwx4bCh0Ziw9fEAQYAiABEgJuYfD_BwE
So the trafo is plugged into a socket outside and the socket is connected to the dimmer inside.
In the new situation I have replaced the dimmer for a pulseswitch and a fibaro dimmer 2 behind it.......if I wanted to connect the bypass inside close to the dimmer 2 module...
how would I do that???
One end from bypass at the black wire(schakeldraad) en the other end to any blue wire in that group??
hope I make sense....

Brown is the black wire in ur case so u are correct!
they can be found below 10euros.
Way smaller and just as good, ok better.
i use this one
@mruiter The inlite bakbeest just hangs outside in all weather conditions, plus it is mounted out of sight, so I dont mind.
And your remark about the bypass not working correctly......thats news to me......nobody had told me about that.
In my house I have a similar setup with 12V GU5.3 lamps.....however thats a set of 5x35W so no bypass needed.
And that works like a charm.
If I would have changed those halogeen spots voor 5 x 3W LED I was told I would need a bypass....
I dont see how that setup is any different than the setup I have outside.....
But I am here to learn...
But the inlite doesnt need a load. the bakbeest burns enough by itself.
The logic aka sunlight detect goes fracked if you dim it.
It does work a bit but not always and with low loads the dimmers go in fail mode once every x time because the inlite will backfire a strange load back to the dimmer causing it to go into a fail mode.
Its not a trafo that supports dimming.
My 20 euro ali trafo is 100% waterproof. Dipped it in epoxy , costs less then a euro.
Only gardners buy the massive overprices old inlite wikkeltrafo.
Ok so.....your solution would be to change the Trafo, and the problems with the dimmers should go away???
Guess I will have to try that then.....
Gr,
Danny
PS in the meantime If installed a Fibaro double switch.....that did the trick as well.....but only ON/Off now.
