Install a dimmer in Skellefteå

Softer light in the living room the same evening. We install LED-compatible dimmers where the dimmer is included in the price — no flicker, no buzz, just the right light for the moment.

LED-compatible dimmer — why it matters

Old dimmers and new LED bulbs are a common source of flicker and hum. The dimmers we install are made for LED and are calibrated against your specific light sources before we leave. If they do not work with the existing bulbs you will be told on the spot.

Want to control the lights from your phone?

Add a Plejd dimmer as an option in your booking and you get app control, timers and scenes in the same visit — no extra call-out.

Why do LED bulbs flicker on old dimmers?

An incandescent dimmer is built for an entirely different kind of load. LED bulbs draw so little current that the old dimmer cannot find a stable level — the result is flicker, buzzing or bulbs that never turn off completely. The bulbs are not the problem; the mismatch is. An LED dimmer with an adjustable minimum level fixes the problem at source.

Which bulbs can be dimmed?

The light source must be marked dimmable — it says so on the packaging. A non-dimmable LED can flicker or be damaged by a dimmer, however good the dimmer is. Spotlights, pendants and wall lamps can all be dimmed with the right bulbs, and the electrician checks the whole picture before signing off the installation.

The original knobs in the 1960s and 70s houses have done their time

In residential areas such as Anderstorp, Morö Backe and Sörböle the house's first switches and rotary knobs are often still in place. The mechanism wears, contacts become loose and the LED changeover has made old dimmers directly unsuitable. A replacement with a modern LED dimmer gives softer light and a switch that feels brand new — without any new cable runs.

Frequently asked questions

Can I replace the dimmer myself?

No, the dimmer is wired permanently into the wall box and that is work for a qualified electrician. You can choose where in the home you want dimmable light, however — we take it from there.

Is the dimmer included in the price?

Yes, an LED-compatible quality dimmer is included in the fixed price, as is calibration against your light sources before we leave.

Can I dim spotlights in the ceiling?

Yes, as long as the spots are dimmable. If you have older halogen spots with a transformer you will be told on site what is needed for even light without flicker.

Is there a push-button dimmer instead of a rotary knob?

Yes, both rotary and push dimmers are available — and if you choose Plejd as an add-on you control with touch, app or both. Tell us in the booking which feel you prefer.

How many bulbs can one dimmer handle?

Each dimmer has a wattage range that the total load must fall within. The electrician checks this during calibration — if the group is too large you will be told and given a solution straight away.
