Hi,
I installed 6 IP65 downlights into a ground floor soffit with 3watt led bulbs installed.
This was connected via an immersion heater timer. The lights lit when switched to over-ride but then failed to switch off when set to timer mode.
I then changed the timer and the same thing happened.
I then removed the timer and installed a 1 gang switch.
Can i install a timer on this circuit or does it need a minimum load for a timer to work.
Many thanks for any replies
