    LED bulbs

    2856S module will turn on lamp with LED bulb but when off, bulb flashes slowly. I have many 2476 and 2477 controlling exterior lights - all with LED bulbs and no problem. What do I do?

    The 2476, 2876 and 2477 SwitchLinc switches don't have Local Control Sensing. The 2456S, 2456D, 2856S and 2856D have Local Control Sensing. It is your problem with the LED bulbs.

    As a test. Put a cube tap on the 2856S's output. Add a 7 watt incandescent night light along with the LED bulb load.
    The 7 watt night light maybe enough to load down the Local Control Sensing current and if it is a later hardware revision current through the Snubber Network across the internal relays contacts.
    Another choice would be test different brand LED bulbs. Some are more sensitive to the sensing voltages.
    The latest Insteon On/Off module would be another option.

      I have a [B]2457D2 LampLinc Dimmer [/B]module. Do you happen to know if this is compatible with small LED dimmer bulbs?
