I have a customer that had an older street light with a 30W Phillips Sox bulb in in. It's an absolute pain to get to as it's mounted on a building very high with obstacles preventing easy ladder access and steps / ramps at ground level all around it.
When it stopped working I offered a new LED...
I had this issue with the old wiring on the chandelier along with light flickering, so I rewired the chandelier with new sockets and 2ft. leads into the main house wiring as it had been before. Same issue was happening, so I replaced the dimmer switch, same issue happening. I bought all new...
Has anyone got a supplier for these?
So far all I have seen are Integrated LED's which if one fails next week it would be rather an expensive excercise to replace the whole fitting.
Thanks

This is the second set which won't work to replace the current spots here in my kitchen. All they do is flash once quickly. I'm replacing standard older halogen and wanted to use LEDs but for some reason this is still happening.
I've looked above the kitchen unit and can see a transformer? Is...
Hi
I wanted some advice regarding which downlights company is better from ancell or forum?
I have builders doing works in my house but I wanted an opinion of a specialist.
The reason I am going for ancell or forum is because they are the only 2 downlights brands that do black chrome or black...

I've used this forum for advice many times but this is my first time posting so I hope that this community can help!

I have 3 pendant light fixtures with a total of 540 watts of incandescent bulbs connected to a GE electronic dimmer. The bulbs flutter from bright to dim randomly. I have seen this with LEDs before but not incandescent bulbs. What is wrong?

Hey everyone, here's my imaginary problem, let's say I have 2 light bulbs, both of them take energy from the same source, however, 1 of them has a button to turn it off, the other one does not. How would I make it so when that button is pressed the other light bulb also turns off? The second...
I purchased a chandelier from Aliexpress (China) that came with bi pin G9 LED bulbs (3W equivalent) (pic attached). I asked the seller if this was dimmable and he said NO the bulbs are not dimmable. Apparently China uses cheap non-dimmable bulbs. But the seller told me I could purchase...

I need help with calculation here and explanation to get this right. If i want to build a lamp with 20 light bulbs in a 230V home. Each light bulb is 2watt.

Driven by the recent colossal hikes in the cost of electricity I hit upon the wizard wheeze of replacing some of the existing LED bulbs in our own house with PIR triggered ones - especially in regularly but lightly trafficked areas such as the hall where we tend to turn on the lights and leave...
Hi All, I have replaced two outside 240V 60 watt halogen bayonet bulbs with two 240V 10 watt LED globes but the LED globes are extremely dull, like a candle. Have tried 4 globes in other sockets in the house and they are very bright. There is no dimmer or transformer. Any ideas?
Hello -
I am a new member (and just a UK householder rather than a professional) and have a couple of questions about domestic LED bulbs. I want to update many bulbs in my house and looked at the web sites of B&Q and Wickes. Both sites show bizarre variations in energy efficiency ratings for...
We are currently renovating our flat. We have an electrician involved but I thought it would be useful to get some advice here before making any proposals to him. We're based in the UK and I'm relying heavily on my A-Level physics to understand the electronics involved.
I am looking for a...
Hey all.
New here and new to 3 phase.
I had some electric experience on set in Los Angeles as a gaffer for a couple of years, but it was mainly single-phase - counting amps and avoiding blowing circuits type deal. Also did basic wiring in my old 73 chevy truck as well. So nothing huge.
But...
