    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.

    What is the reason that a dimmer makes R1+R2 readings so high when still connected in lighting circuits? I may be missing the obvious but is it anything to do with Back EMF?
