Was called to a lighting fault yesterday, the lounge light would sometimes switch off when another light was switched on, easy I thought a loose feed in a switch or ceiling rose checked connections all okay problem persisted turned my attention to the lamps all were compact fluos except the lounge which was a vintage LED on closer examination when the lounge light went out I still had 230v at the rose and lampholder changed the LED for a compact fluo and the issue was solved. anybody else had similar incompatibility problems with LED?

Hi,could have been a bad neutral....what side was the switching?
OP
No everything was checked, switched through the live side of course.
Have seen induced voltage create flashing in LED's but never seen it stop one lighting before.
