    Help Requested on LED Set-Up

    Hi All! I’m a hobbyist, but fairly skilled. I recently wired up a high end theater in my home, various new circuits, light fixtures, switches, etc. All came out excellent.

    LED tubes failure mode

    I just wondered if anyone else has seen LED tubes do this (2 different fittings) I’m assuming this is a bad batch as this is apparently the 3rd to do this. Unfortunately testing the wiring was a little difficult due to a right rats nest installed behind two fire-trip wires that shut off the gas.

    Best solution for LED security lamp flashing

    I had a faintly funny situation today. At the end of another job, the happy customer said "By the way my outside lamp comes on, and then flashes several times before finally turning off. What's up with it?" I took one look at it and said "To be honest, I have the exactly the same outside lamp...

    240 V 10 Watt LED bulbs extremely dull

    Hi All, I have replaced two outside 240V 60 watt halogen bayonet bulbs with two 240V 10 watt LED globes but the LED globes are extremely dull, like a candle. Have tried 4 globes in other sockets in the house and they are very bright. There is no dimmer or transformer. Any ideas?

    What's the best way to soften/darken harsh office LED lights?

    Not an electrical question, but hopefully someone can help... I work full-time in a small office, where the LED lighting is horrible. It's three overhead square fittings (each 21" x 21" or thereabouts). They can't be dimmed and the light is intensely cold/harsh/eye-strain-inducing. I'm looking...

    Any best practices on installing/wiring configuration of multiple LED panels?

    Anyone could recommend "best practices" for wiring methodology of 64 LEDs (each req. 10V@700mA)? Including resistors, drivers, parallel/series, etc... Part of the question is if these should be configured in an 8 x 8 configuration where each one bundle is a 4 x 4 series/parallel setup? Drivers...
