I have a very odd problem to do with LED lighting.
The customer had a string of 10 x 40 Watt incandescent lamps, connected to a dimmer switch. We replaced the dimmer switch with a Varilight V-Pro trailing-edge dimmer so that he could use 10 x 3 Watt LED candle lamps instead.
Whenever I...
Not sure this is the right place for this but i'm new. There are 3 spotlights in the bathroom and all fitted with GU5.3 4.5w LED bulbs. These bulbs flash bright when turned on and then dull down very low. If I replace one of the bulbs in the bathroom with the old GU5.3 5.5w LED bulb, the other...

Hello everybody
i came across a nice fault/problem today, I changed some GU10 lamps for the LED kind and they are lit dim while switched off. I have installed 2 new circuits These are the circuits the LEDs are on (1 in a extension and 1 up stairs in the older part of the house) I know these...
Was called to a pub today, to look at some LED down lights (small single LED's) built into a shelving unit. They flash rapidly on start up then stop and stay on permanently and intermittently start flashing again before returning to permanent. Once i had located the Transformers for them, I...
Pretty much as the title says. I installed a couple of LED downlights in a porch in place of one traditional bulb today and the clients 20 ish year old timer didn't like the LED's lights and instead of turning them off it "pulsed them"
So I'm on the hunt for a replacement switch or a solution...

A customer of mine has received an electric shock from holding an LED light in one hand and touching a fridge in the other hand. Should I be concerned about my LED lights? They are made with an aluminium chassis but I can hold them normally and have never received a shock. All comments are much...

Hi folks,
I was wondering if anyone has come across the problem of LED lights not completely turning off when switched via a 2 way/Intermediate circuit.
They work fine and switch off completely when wired as a one way lighting circuit, but when in a 2 way/Intermediate circuit they dim...
Hi guys,
Im new to the game and I have a customer who has an issue with 5-10 random, 12v, MR16 35W downlights (with each row connected on its own Dimmer switch) refusing to work.
I was wondering could this most likely be the transformer that needs replacing? I havnt been on site to look for...
Been to see a job this afternoon and the customer wants LED lights in a "recess" in the wall. T
The bathroom is being converted into a wetroom and thus would prefer an IP6x rated fitting.
Anyone got any good suggestions/products they can recommend?
A few years ago I installed the small recessed deck kits within my timber decking, due to the amount of lights and with it being external I removed the combined plug/transformer and female connectors pre fitted on each LED cable, I put in my own transformer seperate and connected all deck lights...
