LED lights not coming on

money_savy

Hi there

I had replaced my existing lights in my kitchen with LED lights. I had also replaced the dimmer switch with a normal one. However when I switch it on, there is flicker of the LED lights and then doesnt come on.

Am i missing something here ..
Any help would be much appreciated.

thanks

If you put one of the old lights back in does it work?

Spotlights? Mains bulbs (GU10) or 12V(MR16)?

Got any pics?

Sounds to me like they're 12V and the existing transformer(s) don't like the LEDs coz they don't present as a high enough load. Transformers for 12V halogen bulbs generally have a minimum load they require to function - LED bulbs are generally too low wattage to meet this, therefore the tranny shuts down.

Solution: replace transformer(s) or rip em out and fit mains LEDs. Do this at least once a week for customers.....
