We have a light with five 5w LED pendants. The dimmer switch is to replace one that died when one of the LED bulbs blew, tripping our consumer unit and frying the dimmer.
I got a replacement bulb and all five LEDs were working fine with a standard on/off switch.
Fitted the V-COM dimmer and now the dimming works but only four out of five LEDs are lighting up!
I haven't tested this by putting the standard switch back or swapping bulbs round, but I'm fairly sure another bulb didn't just blow... What gives?!
Obviously try replacing the bulb that doesn't light or test it for continuity before you try anything else. I'm at a loss to think of any other scientific reason why the dimmer would stop one bulb out of 5 from working.
Odd problem with the dimmer switch @Airhead recommended recently:
