Dimmer 2 overheating

  • I am using the latest firmware 1.11.7. I have taken switch out of the equation which has made no difference. I have the cable which was originally in the common of the switch now in O and what was in L1 of the switch in L. I believe that wiring is correct. It all works fine but after about one minute I get overheating warning and it switches off. I have tried both trailing edge and leading edge which makes no difference. I am powering 6x60w filament bulbs. Any advice appreciated.

  • 6 bulbs, each 60W, gives 360W! Shelly Dimmer2 is suited for max. 220W (filament bulbs). It must overheat in your installation! Split the bulbs in two groups 180W each, use a second Dimmer 2 and give it a chance!
