Flicker Free LED Downlights

No matter where you live in Australia, using PIXIE is a wiser smart home solution because we guarantee flicker free LED dimming using cost effective 'phase dimming' technology.

This technical term is how most home lighting has been dimmed in Australia for the last 40 years, and the introduction of energy efficient LED downlights has unfortunately introduced some issues which drive some home owners crazy!

Their LED downlights flicker when used on dimmers!

If you've never heard of LED downlights flickering being an issue its time to get educated with some of the resource below.

And if you're considering a smart home system other than PIXIE and there's been no mention of LED downlight flickering on dimmed lighting circuits, its probably because it can't be resolved by that system.

As PIXIE is made by SAL National, one of Australia largest lighting suppliers too, we have created a PIXIE compatible solution to deliver flicker free LED downlights, unlike any other, called SFI.

In addition to the flicker free nature of the PIXIE compatible SFI solution, it also provides super smooth dimming and super super low dimming to 1% output.
