Fantech DB10 Pressure Switch Kit w/ Delay Questions & Answers
Two switches with two hallway lights-one delays going on.
What it sounds like to me is that the second light may have fluorescent bulbs - either the compact fluorescent type or maybe a circular bulb. The fact that when you turn off the switch and then immediately on and it works fine, also makes sense if that is the case.
Lights don't give full light
didn't know you could use a fantech dimmer for regular lights.. try a regular 3 way switch in both places and see if you get full brightness then replace only one of the switches with a 3 way dimmer and see what happens.. you can only use one dimmer on a 3-way circuit

What could cause all electrical outlets and lights on the same circuit to go out without tripping the breaker?
GFCI and overcurrent protection (breaker) work in different ways. Suffice to say the GFCI is ~2000x more sensitive and trips long before the typical household breaker. So it's normal for a GFCI trip and the panel breaker to remain closed.The electrician is correct regarding GFCI devices. One GFCI device can protect multiple downstream outlets but some homeowners want a separate reset per floor or each bathroom to have its own reset, etc.As for the hair dryer... you're trying to eliminate trip sources so just leave it unplugged between uses and you'll get your answer.Typical trip sources are the GFCI itself (defect/damage/age) or an appliance of sorts. Then there's rodent or water infiltration issues. Anything you plug into the GFCI circuit is a potential trip source even something seemingly innocuous as a nightlight or air freshener, USB charger, anything that fits into the plug.
