Hi There,
I recently had a contractor come to replace the original central lighting cluster in a downstairs dining room with a set of six Kosnic downlights. He also replaced the original dimmer switch with a new compatible one, but found that the dimmer would cause flickering (due to some historical problem with the house wiring apparently?) - so replaced a module (in the dimmer) so it only acts on/off. Fine as wasn't too bothered about loss of dimmer function anyway.
Only just noticed however, that if I switch the existing lights on in the lounge, the new dining room downlights go off! Switch them off and the Kosnics in the dining come back on. I dont see any such effect with the traditional kitchen lights in the next room...
Any idea what might be going on here ?
TIA
