OK guys & girls...

yesterday I swapped out some knackered under cupboard lights for mains powered 3W led lights (TLC code KB UCLED4) - they looked good and the customer was happy....

until last night and now they are saying they are too bright!

So - there is no way to accommodate a transformer, so the units need to be with integral driver!


Ideas all?


Thanks

Hum.... yes - I have read on another forum, one I mustn't Talk about, that people mentioned that LED's get dimmer with use - not sure I concur with the latter...

I get dimmer with use, not sure about LEDs though!

I will give you a fiver for them all Murdoch, feel free to relay this to the homeowner!

Seriously though, if it was a good regular customer I would be tempted to say I will take them off your hands at a reduced rate (to keep for another job) and then get some less luminous ones. Only for decent clients though..

Just looked at the lights in question. No chance of a different diffuser? Or, bit crap I know, could mask off some of the diffuser perhaps. They don't get very hot afterall.

Or if say, there are three underneath 8ft of wall cabs, then reduce this to two instead...

yesterday I swapped out some knackered under cupboard lights for mains powered 4W led lights (cool white) (TLC code KB UCLED4) - they looked good and the customer was happy....

Edited the above for clarity!

Plus:

I have located some that Robus do which are 3W and warm white so that should make the lights more "acceptable" but they are a bit more expensive!

If anyone is interested Screwfix sell the Robus units and their code is 22115
