    Dimmable LED downlighters.

    Can anybody advise on the following. Have 4 5w led gu10 bulbs with a v pro series dimmer rated for low wattage lamps. The bulbs are dimmable but when the dimmer is switched on as soon as it is turned down the bulbs flicker badly. Any advice appreciated.

    R1+R2 with dimmers in circuit.
