Am I going crazy or are VPro dimmers threaded differently? Discussion ThreadAm I going crazy or are VPro dimmers threaded differently? Electrical Advice
Today I was in a house where we need to change all the dimmer modules since the old ones are triac dimmers and so flickering the new LED lights.
There's about 50 to change, all for new VPro Smart Multi Way (with the companions) and Standard 120w modules.
Unfortunately the house is filled with expensive screwless clear switches (similar to Wandsworth crystal) which have custom nuts for the knobs that then the nuts for attaching the front plate fit to, which means I can't use the nuts the new dimmers come with.
But these don't thread on the new modules properly? They do thread on other modules I have in the van, so do vpro modules really have a different thread pitch to everyone else? And would anyone know why? Normally not an issue but I often have to deal with overpriced designer switches like corston / wandsworth / buster + punch and this does end up a problem.
I managed to make it work by threading the new on first and then the old one (which partially threads on but not all the way) but it's not great.
