I'm looking for an LED spotlight that can be mounted on an existing lighting column. The aim is to illuminate a war memorial that is 20m away.
Any recommendations on where or what I should be looking at?
Hi all, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Went to do some work at a factory unit on Monday ( changed 20 florries to LED battens and changed 20 400w metal halide to 150w LED high bays). The florries were fed from different circuits and different DB’s and the high bays were fed of one DB...
Hi all
I've been changing the halogen downlighters in my house to LED's. I have three rooms that use dimmers, two of them have two switches each to control the lights, all rocker type dimmer switches. I've had no issue replacing the dimmer modules in the rooms with multiple switches as they are...
Hello all- I hope this is the right place to ask this question. A few weeks ago the LED lights in the kitchen started flickering intermittently, mostly when first turned on in the morning. I changed the light switches in case of dimmer compatibility problem but flickering continued and also...
I have a led panel that i want to dim. It is dimmable but without a dimmable driver.
I have a dimmer module and a dimmer switch as shown in the foto.
Can anyone sketch me a diagram on how to wire the bits together.
Thanks.
Hi everyone.
I should start by saying I'm not sure I'm in the right place here (this isn't a householder issue - I'm making a Ghostbusters backpack for my son!), and that I have no knowledge at all of electrical circuits.
I have a simple circuit with 3aaa batteries powering a string of static...
Hi, DIY’er here.
I need a replacement transformer but can’t find the exact model required anywhere.
It is Golden Power GP-SW120DC0700(UK)
Input/Pri - 220V-240V - 50/60Hz
Output/Sec - 12V - 700mA 8.4W
Please can anyone help or suggest an alternative model that may work.
Thank you
Am fitting a new pir led floodlight . The exsisting light is connected to 4 core round flexible cable, core colours green/yellow, blue, brown and black .

Had to remove a led strip from a bathroom today because it’s getting tiled, now the led strip that was there was low voltage but didn’t have anything covering it. I’ve seen the wee aluminium profile things before, is this something that the led strip should be fitted in when in a bathroom? It...
Hi
I wanted some advice regarding which downlights company is better from ancell or forum?
I have builders doing works in my house but I wanted an opinion of a specialist.
The reason I am going for ancell or forum is because they are the only 2 downlights brands that do black chrome or black...
Hi,
I have an a single LED (240v Robust Fixed, LAP GU10 LAD 250 Lm 4w) downlight which is going through a squence (after being on for a while), I ran a lap timer for an example of the behaviour :
Dim for 16 secs
Fully on for 2 mins 13 Secs
Dim for 16 secs
Fully on for 2 mins 11 secs...
I recently bought a bathroom mirror with LED & Bluetooth speakers (from Amazon). There is a double isolated symbol on the back of the mirror yet there is also an earth wire connection. Is this unusual and should it be a cause of concern? It has not been installed yet - just wondering what your...
Hi all,
I'm looking for a couple of PIR floodlights to replace old halogen ones, probably around the 50W mark would provide sufficient lighting, so just wondering if anyone is able to recommend some brands that will last and aren't too expensive either, so when they inevitably stop working...
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...
We are in the process of renovating our house, and would like to setup led strip-lighting throughout. of the options, this seems most attractive:
12v 120W constant voltage driver powering a bus that routes to each room (optionally 24v 240W, but I think I'll just get two drivers, two busses if...
I'm looking to consider asking my electrician to fit one extra LED flush-fit spot in loft hatch so it matches the rows in the ceiling to a total of 9 (3 rows of 3). He's concerned that it won't be safe and I totally get this, but is there a way to install this with some form of strong, flexible...
I have purchased spotlights as below, but they are flickering when I dimmed them down to around 15-20%.
