Bypass by Samotech is an electronic component used to reduce unwanted electrical noise or interference in electronic circuits. It works by providing a low-impedance path for high-frequency electrical signals to bypass other components or parts of the circuit, thereby reducing the level of noise that can affect the circuit’s performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Samotech Bypass for LED lights do?

The Samotech Bypass eliminates LED flickering and stabilises low-load LEDs when used with a dimmer. It provides a low-impedance path for high-frequency electrical signals, reducing the noise that affects circuit performance and giving you smooth, silent dimming.

When should I use a bypass?

A bypass is recommended whenever LED bulbs flicker, refuse to turn off fully, or stay faintly lit when off — symptoms commonly seen with dimmers driving low-load LED circuits (typically below 15W total).

Does the bypass work with all Samotech dimmers?

Yes — the Samotech Bypass is designed to work alongside Samotech dimmers (such as the SM323 rotary dimmer and SM309-S in-line dimmer module) to resolve flicker and ghost-lighting issues with low-load LEDs.

Is the bypass compatible with smart bulbs?

No. The bypass is an electronic component for resolving issues with standard non-smart dimmable LED bulbs on a dimmer circuit. It is not designed for use with smart bulbs.

Will I always need a bypass with my dimmable LEDs?

Not always. Many quality dimmable LEDs work flawlessly with Samotech dimmers without a bypass. A bypass is needed only when you experience flicker, ghosting, or incomplete switch-off — most commonly with very low-wattage or budget LED bulbs.
