K8064 (x2) + K8055 + low load (60W): red LED blinks 3 times

I want to control two lamps, one has to fade in while the other fades out and viceversa.
I have the K8055-board and bought two K8064 dimmers.

When I connected everything together, all seems to work well for a bit, but after a while, sometimes whilst changing the CV, sometimes when in a constant state, a dimmer goes in to error mode, with the red LED blinking three times.
Also, this happens more ‘easily’ when both dimmers are active. If one of them has a constant CV of 0V, they keep working longer. Can they influence eachother?

Given that the dimmer works again after dis- and reconnecting the power, I think this error means the dimmer thinks the load isn’t within specs. (or a 60W bulb at a low control voltage isn’t within specs?)

How can I make this setup to work more stabile? It isn’t an option of adding bulbs to increase the load, because this setup will stand in a exposition and it may only be one light switched on at a time. Can I add power-resistors perhaps?
I read already I should probably use the PWM outputs of the K8055-board instead of the DAC outputs, will this also help for this problem?

You could try with 100W bulbs and change the software so that they are limited to 60% of their power.

Ok, I’ll try that. The lamps shouldn’t get too big either though, they must look ‘stylish’ :slight_smile:

Most 100W bulbs have the same dimensions as 60W types.
