    LED Lights flickering, Harmonics Issue?

    First post on here, but i'm honesty at my wits end! I installed four Lutron in-line dimmers about 9 months ago, all on the same new lighting circuit. Last week the client rang to say that there had been a power cut locally, and when the power was restored, all his Lutron dimmed circuits were...

    Why are my LEDs so dim?

    I have 5 x 5W LEDs connected to a 12V transformer powering the lights in my kitchen. The transformer is described as 20 - 60W so at 25W I'm above the minimum load requirement. The lamps are described as 10 - 30V 5W LEDs so with the transformer output at a stated 11.6V I'm within the tolerances...

The other identical...

    Is frequency of 40 Hz light from Apple/Android tablet as reliable as that from an LED light?

    I am helping someone with Alzheimer's ; there is research showing that flickering light at 40 hz can possibly ameliorate symptoms. There are commercial 40 hz LED lights which flicker at 40 hz.

    Do LED lights require specific wiring?

    Just changed my outside light (100w bulb) with a security light with PIR fitted with a 1.5w integrated LED light and a 5w LED candle bulb. Can't get the new light to work. There is nothing wrong with the new light as I got it to work with a 3 pin plug. Any ideas anyone?

    LED Lights Flash and go off - not tripping

    I've put some new post lamps outside, onto existing wiring. They are setup as follows Switch > L1 > L2 > L3 > L4 > L5 > L6. Cabling was already in and is concreted in so it wasn't really viable to replace. All 230V. The new lights are LED 6W instead of the old 60W halogens, so the draw should...
