Re: flashing lutron

Has the unit worked previously or is it a new install? I have seen this when they are installed incorrectly and overloaded, so it could be that one of you transformers has an internal short circuit.

Check your lamp ratings too, make sure you are meeting the minimum load for the dimmer.

Re: flashing lutron

Are you using low voltage lighting, ie via transformers to step down to 12v?

This is a common problem as the dimmers are set up for standard incandesant lights. There is a button sequence that switches the rania's to trailing edge which should work with your lights.

Contact your supplier for the instruction set. If you have difficulty getting it I think I still have it on my work laptop.
