shelly 2.5 fluorescent lamp

  • Good morning, I would like to know if there is any type of problem in connecting a 2.5 shelly to 1 50W fluorescent light in each relay.

    If there is a problem, is it recommended to use some other device?

    Thank you

    Hello rubenmlll,

    WELLCOME TO THE FORUM

    I cannot recommend. In general the Shellys have some problems with inductive loads. I had some problems exact with such types of lamps. One (18W) was connected to a Shelly 1PM and the other one (2x 18W) was connected to a Shelly 2.5. Very often the Shelly hangs and was not reachable anymore. Only a power off could solve the situation. And after some days the same problem occurred again.

    After I exchanged all lamps by LED tubes the problem was solved. It never happens again.

    Even another 1PM were a halogen lighting with a conventional transformer was connected to had the same problem. Sometimes it was not possible to switch on/off. Another time it switches the light on/off by itself.

    After installing an electronic power supply even here all problems were gone. Never happens again.

    Grüße Bernd
