Compatibility of Broadlink TC-2 switches with fi 60 box and LED lighting

Welcome,

Has anyone used Broadlink's TC-2 switches? Do the EU version fit into a standard "shallow" fi 60 box?
Can they be used for LED lighting? Do they really not require a neutral N wire to work properly?

Regards.

- they should fit into a standard box, they don't differ significantly in depth from normal switches - at least I didn't notice that.

- under the right conditions yes - e.g. ordinary LEDs switching on when power is applied.

- you may need to add a capacitor. Generally works ok, although some are said to have problems, I haven't had any. But I have only mounted a few pcs.
There may be a problem if you want to mount 2 pcs side by side in standard can spacing - check dimensions for yourself.

Welcome,

I have bought and installed for the time being 1 pcs. TC-2 in a three channel version. It works with LED lighting without a problem, no neutral wire, fits in a shallow box. The prerequisite is a box with mounting screws, as the switch does not have pivoting brackets for the "old" type of box.
What puzzles me, however, is that the description says triac control, and here evidently, at least in mine, you can hear the relays 'ticking'....
Maybe there are two versions of the power control?

Welcome,

I have decided to revisit the topic of Broadlink switches.... .
I currently have 3 pcs fitted. TC2-2 (two-channel) and one TC2-3 (three-channel). And with the latter I sometimes have problems....
Well, after some time (always different) after switching on the lighting (no matter how many channels and in what combination) the switch itself switches on all channels for some time, then the illumination of all three buttons starts flashing, after some time all lighting channels start flashing (alternating with the illumination of the buttons) and after some time everything switches off. I fitted LED adapters to the switch circuits, didn't help. I sent to the dealer for a claim, they sent a second one - a new one, it is the same.
The other switches (two-channel) work without any problems, neither have LED adapters fitted. All switches work with the same LED bulbs.
I no longer know where to look for the cause....

Are these problems similar to mine?
