I replaced 2 indoor CFL floods with 2 new LED floods that are controlled by one switch with a dimmer and they work great. I replaced 2 other CFL floods with 2 LED floods that are controlled by 2 switches, no dimmer and these LEDs do not work. I then swapped these LEDs with the first ones I replaced and they work there. Why won't they work in the fixtures that are controlled by 2 switches?
SOURCE: A fixture on a Lutron Maestro dimmer switch stopped working.
This dimmer was not made to dim a load smaller than 40VA. That halogen bulb would only have been 20VA or so.

I think that when your bulb burnt out, the dimmer over-volted the transformer and smoked it. That said, I think you have a fixture problem and, possibly, a switch problem, too.

If the dimmer switch worked for a while after replacing the fixture, it could be that the new fixture has a higher wattage and overloaded the dimmer switch "burning it out".
Dimmer switches are notorious for not living up to their rated wattage, and most will eventually "go bad" even if they are not overloaded.

Simply Automated Dimmers drive standard AC loads as low as 1 watt. The work GREAT for CREE LED fixtures.

I recently purchased a Leviton Dimmer switch which has a brown lead. This switch is to replace 1 of 2, 3 way switches that control the ceiling light in my kitchen. My problem is the new dimmer switch has 4 leads including a brown one which has me confused. I have installed and replaced numerous dimmer switches without difficulty. Please help.
