    Issue with dimmable LED bulbs in ceiling fan with fan module and KeypadLinc

    So I have two identical setups in two rooms...a KeypadLinc controlling a FanLinc. I use the very same bulbs in both (Lythe LED dimmable, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1).

    However, in one room when I dim the lights, they flicker horribly at a constant rate. This happens when attempting to dim from full bright, downward. If I try to dim from full off, upward, nothing happens until I let go of the On button and then they pop on to full brightness. Now in the other room they dim perfectly.

    So...who is the culprit here? I'm guessing it's the fan module. Could it be defective? These fan modules are a pain to wire up so I hate to just trial-and-error things here (actually they are easy, but getting them to fit in the ceiling fan box is the real pain, they are too big (and my fan shroud is small).

    If any one bulb is causing a problem (not unusual), then all the bulbs in that fixture will be affected. Remove one bulb. If the problem persists, then screw that bulb and remove another until the problem bulb is determined.

    If, in fact, you do find one bulb that's the culprit, then that bulb may be fine in a different location.

    Any success?
