We had a spark put some power out to our garage several months ago. He used a spur off the ring main (I wasn't too happy with this). He install two pir led security lights on this circuit. After a couple of months they stopped working (the light up but are really dim), I gave up waiting on the spark coming back to fix it, and replaced one of them (as a trial) with a different light from screwfix (it's actually a much brighter light) and it worked fine until today.. Now it just lights up dimmly a little like the one it's replace (different brand etc).. It looks like it tries to fire up the leds as it flickers then goes dim when it should come on... Any ideas?
As a side note, today I've done some jobs around the house, one of which was to convert some 12v downlighters to mains led (by removing the transformers and replacing the lampholders) they work fine, and I'm not convinced I could have done anything which would have impacted the security light (different circuits, just a straight swap out etc) so it may be jyst coincidence.. Though it may be relevant that the reason we were changing them is that over the past few months we've had a few transformers go - house is 7 years old so it just maybe they are coming to the end of their lives(seems pretty rubbish to me)..
Should we be looking for an electrical fault, or could we just be having bad luck with the security lights?p
