the 4 leds upstairs came on by them selves when the missus turned on the bathroom lights. guess these dimmers just don't work with leds and the remote function, or in the case of the downstairs lights don't completely turn off. ok tried something different, I took all the leds out and just...

well spoke to soon the lounge lights came on of there own accord today, after I programmed the remote control function (it always does it when this function is used), all we did was turn on the immersion heater for god sake. I think ill be returning all these frickin things and putting in...

how much current will 2 suppressors flow? in parallel?

it also has some electronics to do the remote controlled on/off function. ive not got a ac current meter to check the amount it pulls, and varilight are being evasive about it. in the mean time ive fitted a 18W halogen candle bulb, £3 for 2 from asda, this has fixed all the problems. im going...

checked the contact suppressor and it seems to make no difference whatsoever im going to buy a normal candle bulb to see what current this things pulling.

I fitted it across the leds, or in parallel. the suppressor was an old one I had. ive just bought another one from maplins, same spec. the dimmer is one of these...

tried to get varilight to tell me the current used by there dimmer via email. so far they seem to be avoiding the question. Bernard Green please come back need more advice.

p.s. ive got the same dimmer now fitted upstairs to an existing light fitting that had a crabtree touch dimmer on it. ive changed the 4x gu10 halogens for megaman 6w diffused dimmable led's and it all works fine. just wondering if there is a "glowfix" type device already fitted inside the...

seems you can get a higher capacitor version: http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?SKU=1438448&MER=bn-me-pd-r3-manu-pow-1 any ideas on the best value? when I put a multimeter across the light, before I fitted the suppressor there was 24v ac. I suppose I could ask varilight...

ok fitted one I had seems a 100ohm with a 0.1uf cap: http://uk.farnell.com/lcr-components/rc-suppressor/rc-suppressor/dp/9520996 didn't seem to make any difference. also ive now discovered the missus isn't bonkers after all, well not regarding the lights coming on by themselves at least...

great replies, hopefully saved me a bomb, as I have a contact suppressor I used at our old house to stop cfl's, in a 3 bulb fitting, taking it in turns to blow. I had it across the light switch in that case. must remember to remove it before the tenant get there. it worked but did make one cfl...

im wondering myself. the unit is quite large 56mm by 23mm. is it ok to connect the contact suppressor across the lamp? wont that cause a problem with it being 100ohm's across 240v?

I have a problem with my megaman candle bulbs and varilight eclique dimmer. the dimmer uses a small amount of current to power itself. this is bringing on the led's dimly all the time. varilights solution is to use a glowfix costing £24. I wondered if a capacitor and resistor across the...

thank you for all the replys. im looking at a unvented tank and standard heat boiler, but my dad is possibly looking at a combi. there glowworm is about knackerd.

what a new ideal or keep the old one?

just moved into a house and well the heating system is interesting from a historical point of view. the hot water tank is a small 90l ish with a red jacket on, plus some sleeping bags. the boiler is a more modern wall hung ideal classic with a pilot light no less. now what to do with...

the new boiler, hot water cylinder, three port valve (like the one in your photo), a few new rads and trv's, room stat, and cylinder stat have all been fitted by warfront sub contractors working for Total Trade Services. so i would be supprised if they did balance the rads, as they didnt seem to...

im not really a plumber. so when the instructions start going on about flow rates i kinda havent got a clue. when the system was installed, the initial survey guy put down an automatic bypass, i belive, but when the guys came to install the system he said that they didnt need to fit one on my...

they just put it on fixed speed II. which seems a tad stupid as it will just work like a normal pump in this mode it seems. my system is a condensing boiler feeding rads with TRV's and an indirect cylinder via a mid position valve.

what setting should i use? pp1 or pp2?
