Dimmers & Smart Lighting Ferntree Gully
One room, several moods, without the flicker and buzz. We install dimmers and smart lighting controls for homes across Ferntree Gully and the eastern suburbs.
Rated 5/5 based on 60 reviews.
Dimmers That Flicker, Buzz or Only Work Halfway
Most dimmer complaints come down to the same thing. The house was changed over to LEDs but the dimmers were left as they were, and an old dimmer built for halogen load doesn't know what to do with a modern LED.
You end up with lights that flicker at the bottom of the range, buzz when they're dimmed, only work across half the dial, or won't switch off completely.
The problems we get called out for:
- Flickering or strobing when lights are dimmed
- A buzz from the switch or the fitting
- Lights that glow faintly when switched off
- Smart globes that keep dropping off the network
It's almost never the globes. It's the pairing between the dimmer and the fitting.

We match the dimmer to the fittings you have so you get a smooth, silent range from full brightness down to low, and we set the minimum level so the lights never sit in the flickering zone.
If you want app or voice control, we can install smart switches that work from the wall as well as the phone. That matters more than people expect, because visitors and kids still need a switch that works.
We'll also split lighting onto separate circuits or switches where it gives you more useful control, like separating the island pendants from the main kitchen lights.
What we do:
- Identify why the current setup flickers or buzzes
- Match dimmers correctly to your LED fittings
- Install smart switches that still work from the wall
- Split lighting into separate zones or scenes
- Set the dimming range and test every fitting

Fantastic experience with Class Above Electrical! They were punctual, highly responsive, and offered great service while installing our downlights/sconces. Their pricing was completely fair and accurate. I’ll definitely be hiring them again!

Jessie arrived exactly when he said he would. Jessie set the Tesla car charger up to our internet and downloaded the app for us and set that up too so we can set charge times and see all the data. Jessie left no mess and did a fantastic job.

Frequently Asked Questions
Almost always because the dimmer was made for halogen loads and hasn't been changed since the globes were swapped to LED. Fitting a trailing edge dimmer matched to the LEDs, and setting its minimum level, fixes it in most homes.
The ones we install do. They operate as normal switches from the wall regardless of the network, and the app and voice control come back when the connection does. We avoid setups where losing wifi means losing your lights.
For a whole room, usually yes. Smart globes stop working the moment someone turns the wall switch off, and they need replacing individually. A smart switch controls every fitting on that circuit and behaves normally for anyone who doesn't use the app.
In most cases yes, provided the fittings and globes are dimmable. We check what's installed first, because putting a dimmer on non dimmable LEDs causes exactly the flicker and buzz people are trying to get rid of.
Yes. Splitting pendants, downlights and feature lighting onto their own switches or dimmers is one of the most worthwhile changes you can make in a kitchen or living area. We'll talk through what's practical with the wiring you have.
