conneting LED to AWMR-230

In my home I have installed many 'Click On Click Off' switches. Most of them are switching normal lights without problems. Now I started experimenting with LED lights and they give problems with the AWMR-230 and AWMR-210 modules. This unit send a small current thru the LED lamp whitch is enough to light up the LED lamps when it is switched off. Other nice situation is where I use a 220V to 12V converter for 12V LED spots. They start flashing every 2 seconds. The small current is apperently loading the converted which gives 12V output when enough energy is buildup.

Does anyone has found a solution for the problem described? Resistor in paralel with the lamp? I realy like the AWMR modules because I can keep my existing lights switches (I replaced them with pulse switches) which have a very high WAF.

regards,
Bart

According to http://klikaanklikuit.nl/verlichting.asp this isn't working or not reliable due to the low power consumtion

Sorry for digging this old thread up but I've just finished installing a AWMR-230 Coco module on a single pole switch that operates 9 LED 4-watt lamps located outside of my house and while it looked all fine when I was installing them during the daytime, this morning in the dark I was they were not completly off. If I would have to guess I'd say they're 5% lit.

What gives? Is there anything I can do about this?

Cheers!

I have connected 3 dimmable IKEA LED-bulbs to an AWMR-210 (dimmer) and that is working fine. Lights turn completely off.

However, i have seen the behaviour you are describing before with an other LED-bulb. The solution then was to turn around the plug. In your case, turn around the phase and neutral wires that go to your lamps.

Just a tip: there is a AWMR-300 supporting LED lamps. No glowing of the lamp while it is switched off.
