LED Dimmable Light bulbs

ITtim

Hi All, I've decided to replace all my GU10 50w Halogens with LED's

I've got four which have to be dimmable and have ordered some from Amazon. They arrived today and i've fitted them. When dimmed I get a buzzing from the light switch and at full they flicker. They don't appear to be very stable. Is this a problem with the switch or the bulbs? The halogens we're always pretty good.

I want to check before I send them back to Amazon!

Thanks

Likley to be the dimming switch, google it but basically the old dimmer type were designed for bulbs that we're going to pull upto 500 watts or more now the maximum for your LED's is going to be around 20.

You need a LED dimmer the varilight V pro series is prob the best

I've found the opposite problem with some bulbs. I have LightwaveRF dimmer switches which are LED compatible but I bought some bulbs from LED hut but they buzz at full brightness.

Replaced them with bulbs from well-lit.co.uk which work perfectly.
