i dont know maybe your lightbulb is messed up. There could be many possibilities depending on the situation. If a high wattage unit comes on (like an air conditioner), there could be a drain on the system that causes a light to dim. Sometimes during a storm, there could be a problem at the power substation including a power surge or break in the system, that could cause lights dimming. If too many strands of lights in a series are connected, you run the risk of overloading that circuit, which could cause dimmed and blown lights, and potentially dangerous situations.
Consult a Master Electrician for more information.
Assuming there's nothing wrong with the light circuit itself, usually a large load on the same branch circuit (circuit breaker) will cause this. Is your refrigerator on the same circuit? When the compressor kicks on, it will drag down the voltage on the entire circuit. This is most easily noticed by flickering or dimming lights.
When the bass hits in your car the headlights will dim if you have enough power. Installing a capacitor (the capacitor stores power and creates a buffer) absorbs this surge and your headlights don't dim. Not unlike a capcitor in your home airconditioner. Without a capacitor, your house lights would dim when it turned on.
You can if you want to connect two 12 volt lights in series with each other. Make sure that the 12 volt lights are rated for AC and not DC.CommentFurther to the above answer, you must also ensure that the two lamps have identical power ratings, or the lamp with the lower power rating will be brighter than the one with the higher power rating!
If you have a light switch where you can brightener it or dim it that is a VARIABLE RESISTOR.
Yes, there is a device inside it to allow the unit to dim the lamp.
Check the grounds for the headlights.
could be the alternator is about to go out
Dim All the Lights was created in 1995.
Can be a weak alternator. Have it checked at any auto parts store.
You should dim your lights as soon as you see their lights.
How dim? There are several possible answers. First, the output of the light coil is directly related to the engine rpm. Second, if the regulator/rectifier is not functioning properly, the lights can be dim. Third, if you have a poor ground connection the lights will be dim.
Check the alternator.
when you see there lights you should dim yours
Dim lights
lights are very dim
well i bought new lights for my instrument cluster thinking it would fix the problem but there still dim
Your headlights may not dim because you don't have dimmer lights. Dimmer lights can blow and leave you with just the high beams.
