Installed a Lightwave 1 gang switch and now the LED light is flickering when off. It is like the switch is not turning off the light correctly, and that the light is running in a dimmed state. Then light is dimmable! I have checked the wiring on the switch and this is correct (I believe). Any...

Hi - on one side of our kitchen we have had a G4 bulb undercabinet light (see pic 5) replaced with a new transformer and LED strip ok. It's connected to a single switched spur. On the other side of the kitchen we wanted to replace the similar 2 G4 bulb light fittings (see pic 5) with LED strips...

Context: - This fixture is daisy chained and this stopped working (with new tubes / starters) a few months back. The subsequent fixtures in the chain are fine. - I opened it up and checked with my voltage detector that the current is entering but not leaving the ballast. - I bought an LED tube...

I have a garage with 1x twin socket and would like to add a fused spur with 1mm sq 3 core & earth https://www.screwfix.com/p/prysmian-6243yh-grey-1mm-3-core-earth-cable-25m-coil/33309#product_additional_details_container To control 2x LED lights which will come on at the same time from either...

Hi. I have a couple of LED ceiling lights which have two settings (daylight white and warm white) which alternate by switching them on/off quickly. My electrician fitted a new light switch while it was live and I'm pretty certain it has blown the LED light driver (pictures attached). I need to...

Hello! i have these lights… https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0BPY1ST75/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 …already in the garden and they do exactly what was required. But now I would really like these to work with a pir motion sensor. But as a diyer I din’t know if this is...

Hello, I've installed a Monsoon Extractor Fan kit today, all is up and running and everything is working with the exception of the LED. When I switch my lights on the other bathroom lights are working fine but the LED supplied with the fan is pulsing like a slow strobe. If you fiddle with the...

I have 5 of these (see below) in my bathroom with the 90° lenses, and one has now failed and needs replacing. https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/LTFRD12DL.html I am having difficulty in finding a integrated fire rated LED down light that is both 90° beam angle and 5500K in colour...

LEDs are so much better now than they used to be but I can't seem to find a bulb that can be varied between evening and daytime light. 2700K/4000K would be suitable, more variability would be a bonus. Ideally the bulb would also be dimmable or it could even combine dimming and colour change...

Hi all. We've been viewing houses recently and I've noticed that nearly all have recessed downlighters somewhere or other - in some cases just one room but in others they're throughout most of the house. Some are in downstairs ceilings with a room above, others in upstairs ceilings with loft...

Hi I have a 6 month old Bosch fridge freezer As if a couple of days ago the led right and led display on the interior are either not coming on, or coming on intermittently when the door opens. I'm guessing there is a proximity sensor /magnet type setup and possibly some obstruction. Any ideas...

Usual problem - I bought a set of LED downlighters, and a dimmer switch - but the dimmer doesn't reduce the light level! The dimmer switch is a BG Nexus 200W Grid Dimmer (SKU: RBNDTR) - Trailing Edge. The LEDs are 6 x 6W flat panel. Neither seller nor product packaging state compatibility...

In a hallway where the lighting will usually be controlled by an IR occupancy sensor, I would like a 3-position switch. The switch will allow the lights to be controlled by the sensor, permanently on, or permanently off. As far as I can see the only solution is a "2-way & off" grid switch. Is...

I don't understand the correct way to go about installing an LED strip into a pocket or recess. Tiler, a pro, very clean work has no simple solution either. What would really help is an 8mm tile trim with a wide "span" (not sure of correct term). 2cm is not enough to play with (that's NOT what...

Could someone help what this downlights connections are called. Couldn't able to find exact one's as these are discontinued from b&q Downlight by naivediyer posted 8 Mar 2022 at 10:03 PM Transformer by naivediyer posted 8 Mar 2022 at 10:03 PM

I recently installed a Homezone LED PIR light on my garage which I plug in to the garage socket. All worked well when switched on the lights lit up and after some minutes went out, I checked the PIR and it turned the lights on. However after ten minutes the House RCD tripped. I already have the...

Hi, I wonder if anybody can help me, I have tv cabinet led lights and they are no longer working. I believe it is this adapter has failed but can’t find a replacement anywhere. Des anybody have any ideas the name of it. Or where I can get a replacement from?

Hi all, Over the past few years I have had regular issues with my 12 kitchen downlighters due to replacing the standard 12v lamps with 12v LED's and leaving the old transformers in place. As I understand it, the issue is that the transformers require a minimum wattage to be drawn to work...

Evening all, I'm a bit behind in the world of LED lighting as before having a baby earlier this year, we didn't really use the main lights very often. However, the existing halogen spotlights are now getting a lot more use (and some of the transformers have died) so I think it's time to look...

We had dimmable downlighters installed in our bathroom a few years ago. One of the lights stopped working, so I undid it in order to see what LED I need to replace it with. However it's very confusing (see picture). I do not know what this bulb or unit is? Can anyone help? Is this a job for an...
