    Led downlights flick on/off when switched on

    Replaced an outside mains pir light which works, but none of the other lights work, except the one it runs off. I took the wiring off the circuit, essentially back to how it was before, but I still have no lights indoors. When I switch downlights on the flicker! Any help would be fantastic please.

    So I’m an apprentice and only get to do downlighter jobs as foreigners at the weekend, but they’re typically added when the customer no longer wants a pendant so the ceiling is already finished and I’ve never seen downlights being wired while the ceiling is exposed and then finding them after...

    LED Flicker Issue, New one for me!

    Done a job yesterday, remove old 12v halogens and replace with mains, gu10 downlights. Fitted some LED gu10's no issues. Got a call today saying they are all flickering. The flicker isn't too major, but it is obvious that it is happening (if that makes sense). Changed a couple of the LED's for...
