Hi guys,
please bear in mind I'm not a pro with this.
i am trying to replace the G4 halogen capsule in my two ceiling fittings. These are brand new identical fittings and each has 7 20w halogens. I have replaced these with 2w led G4 capsules. Now this is my problem, birth lights are powered at...
Hi all, I bought some E14 LED bulbs and when I switch them off they still emit a little light. There is no leak from the switch. I found out that a few friends also have the same issue.
Any ideas why this could be happening?
Hi everyone, what gu10 bulb would you recommend to replace a 50w halogen bulb?? I've been nagged into buying one and was not sure about this one. Not too fussed about the price, as long as it doesn't blow up!! Cheers all.

Hi All
I have 6 GU10 downlighters that are on a single gang dimmer and works fine with normal 50w lamps. However I recently changed these to 3x3w LED dimmable lamps. But now if you turn the power down the lamps just flicker on and off !
I went to my local retailer and bought an LED dimmer but...
Just interested if anyone knows anything about this. I was chatting to someone in a wholesalers today and he said he had a lighting circuit feeding some LED fittings then a fluorescent then some more LED fittings, when he turns on the lights all the LED bulbs after the fluorescent blow straight...
The most popular manufacturers of GU10 LED's seem to be JCC (although mainly their sealed units as opposed to just bulbs), Cree, Halers, Robus, Kosnic, GE, Sylvania, Megaman and probably some others I've forgotten.
However, there are hundreds of unbranded LED bulbs being sold on eBay (and...
Good morning chaps,
I stumbled upon this forum and seems to be a good source of experts. I'm not an electrician so hope i'm not breaking any rules by posting here.
We have a house full of low voltage MR16 halogen bulbs. I wanted to slowly change the ones in my kitchen and hall to LED as the...
Hey everyone, just wondering what everyone thinks the best LED GU10 bulb is. Factors include: lux, spread, cost, lifespan, colour and size. Also which make of bulb is most equivalent to the 50watt halogen bulb including all the above factors.
I went out to a property today and the tenant had 6 down lights connected to a 3 way switch system. The down lights worked great! When the tenant installed LED bulbs there seemed to be a dim glow from the bulbs. The bulbs are 240V 2W. When the switches are off there is 47V at the fittings.
Can...

Hi
I recently installed 4 decking lamps for a customer - the customer supplied the lamps which are IP 56 rated sealed units, with 2W super LED bulbs. The customer has called to say they are extremely bright and do I have any ideas for making them less so. (he attaches no blame to me as he...
