If you’ve ever tried dimming your lights very low and you noticed them start to flicker, adjusting your dimming range will help.

Set a minimum dim level at the lowest level without flicker.  This setting may differ between different bulbs.

The maximum dimming level can be used to prevent 'dead travel' a situation where the light does not begin to dim unless the dim rocker is pressed multiple times.  Set the maximum dimmer at a level just above where you can see the bulb bightness begin to dim.
