Idle mode may cause lights to dim
High power appliances, such as your Dyson Airstrait™ straightener, may cause
lights in your home to flicker or dim. They draw more electricity, which
temporarily takes power away from other appliances on the same circuit.
If light dimming occurs when using your straightener, try plugging in to a different outlet and circuit. A professional can help to identify suitable outlets.
