If you have been trying to fit a Smart dimmer in a house with no third (neutral) wire in the wall where the dimmer goes, you’ll have found that there’s only a few Smart dimmers on the market that work with two wires.
The reason for this is that with two wires if they turn the lights off they lose power themselves and stop being Smart. So some manufacturers get around this by making dimmers that never go entirely off.
Now the amount of current that flows when they are ‘off’ of tiny and shouldn’t make the bulbs glow.
But guess what? With LED bulbs it can.
So what you do Is you stick this in the ceiling rose of the light, wired in parallel with them (so literally you have one end in the connector for one wire and the other in the connector for the other wire), and it increases the resistance so that when the Smart dimmer goes ‘off’ the tiny current is not enough to make the bulbs glow.
So if you have light fixtures with multiple bulbs and don’t want to install expensive Smart bulbs in each socket (I’d need ten for the two chandeliers in my living room), and have two wires in the wall, these are life savers.
