We're in the UK, 240v lighting feed.
We have replaced all the lights in our house with LED ceiling panels.
These are pretty much the standard ligthing throughout our house with the exception of our Kitchen which has a dual controller 50-80w x2.
The issue that we're having is that two of the...
Hi all,
As context, I am a DIY-er. I am trying to change a ceiling light fixture and I just want to double check my approach before I do it to make sure I am not being stupid somehow! Firstly, I know I will need to turn the electrics off and test the light for voltage before I do this (just to...
I have a issue with lights flickering in my home. Specifically led lights.
I’ve bought a lot of brands of led lights and even most of the expensive ones flicker and strobe. I have found online and bought a couple “flicker free” brands of leds $$$ and that has seemed to solve the problem. Doing...
I've read lots of conflicting information on the internet about dimmable LED lightbulbs. Some people have said that even if a supplier claims that a LED lightbulb is dimmable using it with a dimmer can cause issues, such as it emitting a buzzing noise, flickering and it shortens the life of the...

I am trying to daisy chain some outdoor LED lights. If I split the main power cable the first light comes on but none of the rest light up, really frustrating me as I have daisy chainEd lights in a previous home with no issues. The lights I am using are double...
Hi
I trying to replace my halogen transformers with LED equivalent. I have 4 spotlights and they have there own transformer. 3 of the transformers I can get to but I can’t get to the last transformer because it’s in an impossible area to get to I think the previous owner has placed the...
Hello,
I am the artist, (I'm not an electronist or electrician).
I have a weird problem that I never encountered.
I have a small power supply led driver for a power-led wall light.
I want to attach an indicator led running at 240V to its input ( directly on the 240V wires). You can see the 240V...

I guess dimmer switches have a minimum load required for operation. I believe this is the problem I have run up against. In replacing the halogen bulbs in my light fixture with all LEDs functionality ceases. The...
Hello, I wish to purchase some Downlights to replace some halogen spotlights in my bathroom. Currently the existing spotlights are powered through a transformer connected to a terminal junction box in the loft. Looks like the existing transformer is connected by only a two core cable.
I want to...

Details: Ideally, I would like a dimmable LED light that is hard wired to AC switch that turns on/off the other two...
Hi Problem: I have 5 (240v) led lights in a bedroom on a single on/off switch (not dimmer) and all the leds worked fine until last w/end. Then with the switch being off, the leds would flicker/strobe. Switch on and they all work fine. Disconnected the switch completely and still the same...
I’m running in cabinet led strip (tape) lighting using DV24V strips powered by a 24V 60W driver. I had tried to use a lower wattage driver for the job but the last strip caused it to flicker so I stepped it up to the 60W and they work without flickering.
The job calls for an automatic door...
I am mostly curious as I don't think this is a very important issue.
In my bedroom I have 2 overhead recessed LED lights that are not on a dimmer. After several years of living with no issue, last week I noticed that they remained faintly on after turning the light switch off. They glowed...
Hi all, I am hoping someone can help me with my problem. Just started renting a place and it has under cabinet LED lighting in the kitchen. It's connected to a wall switch but it takes anywhere from 2 to 50 flicks of the switch before the lights come one. I have tried slow on/off patterns, long...
On the LED lamp I have I have the following information, 12v-440mA-3.4W, these figures don't stack up according to Ohms Law, I'm not too familiar with load ratings and calcs regarding LED's
I have a wardrobe with no lights or mains socket in it, I would like to put an LED light strip in there and somehow connect it to a pull cord switch and for power, I’d like to use batteries, probably 4xAA in a battery case which would have a positive and negative wire coming out of the end of...
