Product Usage Instructions
Dimmer Compatibility
We highly recommend using an ELV (electronic low voltage) dimmer compatible
with LED lights. Buzzing or flickering is typically an indication that the
dimmer and lights used are not compatible.Please consult the dimmer
manufacturer for the maximum wattage capacity.
Pop-On Behavior
In some cases, you may experience a pop-on behavior where the lights cannot
be turned on immediately to their minimum level. To resolve this issue, follow
these steps:
- Raise the slider switch above the minimum level to turn the lights on.
- Dim the lights to the desired lower light level as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if my lights are buzzing or flickering?
Buzzing or flickering is usually a sign of incompatibility between the dimmer and LED lights. We recommend using an ELV (electronic low voltage) dimmer that is compatible with LED lights. Please consult the dimmer manufacturer for the maximum wattage capacity.
Why can't I immediately turn on my lights to the minimum level?
Some dimmers may exhibit a pop-on behavior, where the lights cannot be turned on immediately to their minimum level. To resolve this issue, raise the slider switch above the minimum level to turn the lights on, and then dim them to the desired lower light level as needed.
What is dimmer pop-on behavior?
Dimmer pop-on behavior refers to a situation where lights connected to a dimmer switch cannot be turned on immediately to their minimum level, requiring a workaround to activate them.
Why do some dimmers exhibit pop-on behavior?
Pop-on behavior may occur due to variations in the design and functionality of different dimmer switches. It is often associated with the need to initiate the lighting by raising the slider switch above the minimum level.
How can I resolve the pop-on issue with my dimmer?
To resolve the pop-on issue, simply raise the dimmer slider switch above the minimum level. This action activates the lights, allowing you to then dim them down to your desired lower light level.
Can I immediately turn on the lights to their minimum level with a dimmer switch?
No, in cases of pop-on behavior, you may need to raise the dimmer slider switch above the minimum level to turn on the lights. Once activated, you can then adjust the lights to the desired lower level.
Is the Sunco VT DU-WH-3550K suitable for use in cold temperatures?
Some vapor-tight fixtures are designed to operate in a range of temperatures, including cold environments. Check the product specifications for information on the temperature range for optimal performance.
Can the Sunco VT DU-WH-3550K be used in corrosive environments?
