Amico LED Dimmer Compatibility Database

The Ultimate Guide to Flicker-Free Lighting

📊 Executive Summary: Engineered for Reliability

With over 14,200,000 units installed across the U.S., Amico has established a proven 99.39% reliability rate. Extensive testing confirms that 90% of flickering issues are caused by incompatible, older-generation dimmer switches, not the LED fixture itself.

The Amico Promise: Our 5CCT Ultra-Thin wafers perform best when paired with the official Amico Dimmer or verified modern Triac/ELV dimmers listed below.

✅ Verified Compatible Dimmers

The following models have been lab-tested for smooth 100%-5% dimming, no buzzing, and stable low-light performance with Amico wafers.

Brand Model Number Performance Rating Best For...
Amico GS-SCR-DIM ★★★★★ Official Recommended
Manual Slide. Most stable performance guaranteed.
Lutron DVCL-153P ★★★★★ Top Pick Manual Slide. Highly reliable standard choice (Diva).
Lutron PD-6WCL ★★★★★ Smart Home. Best for Wi-Fi/App control & automation (Caseta).

⚠️ Incompatible Dimmers (Do Not Use)

Warning: The following dimmer types are designed for older incandescent bulbs and will cause flickering, buzzing, or reduced lifespan in modern LED fixtures:

  • Standard Rotary Dimmers (Old "knob" style without LED rating)
  • Lutron CN-600P (Incandescent only model - Rated 1 Star)
  • Any dimmer NOT rated for "C-L", "LED+", or "ELV"

🛠️ Troubleshooting Flickering Lights

1. The "Low-End Trim" Issue (Most Common)

Problem: Lights strobe or drop out at the very bottom of the dimming range (5–10%).

Close up guide showing how to adjust the low-end trim dial on a Amico dimmer switch to fix LED flickering issues.

Solution: 

Modern dimmers have a hidden "adjustment dial" or lever on the side.Action: Turn lights to the lowest setting. Slowly adjust this dial until the flickering stops. This sets a stable minimum voltage.

2. Circuit Overload

Guidance: Do not exceed the dimmer's LED wattage rating (usually 150W LED).

Math: Amico 6" lights are 12W. 150W / 12W = Max 12 lights per switch.
