    The 0-10V unit is not made for driving lamps.
    Stop now if that is what you are doing.

    Hi JK
    Can you describe what you have connected? or post a diagram or a picture?
    Most LED's flicker at low levels of dimming when using an incompatible dimmer.

    Regards

    Usually this is a problem associated with leading edge dimming having unbalanced capacitance or trailing edge dimming having no capacitor.

    This is very situation specific and the solution is not difficult. Only situations where the dimming system and flickering causes problems should the capacitance be taken into consideration.
