My girlfriend recently bought a house and we changed all bulbs to LED’s for both energy efficiency reasons and as some were blown.
Under the kitchen cabinets were 3 MR11 halogen bulbs, 2 of which were blown. I replaced these with 3W LED’s which work but faintly flicker.
On investigation, the remaining halogen bulb worked in all 3 light fittings confirming there’s not a wiring issue. All 3 bulbs are wired into an old Elektra ET60F1. These appear to only be available overseas but on reading/translating the text on the transformer it reads:
230v ~ 50/60Hz 0.25a ta 50°C SELV equiv 11.5V ~ 10-60W wavelength 0.9 halogen lamps with max. 2m cable
I assume as I have 3 bulbs at 3 watts coming in at 9 watts on total which is below the minimum 10 watt operating range, this is leading to the flickering and I’d need to swap for an LED driver?
The Elektra has provisions for up to 6 fittings powered by the 1 unit, what would be a suitable LED driver equivalent to power all 3 lights?
Thanks in advance
