Hi folks,
2 things have happened:
1) I have the same model dimmer switch in 2 rooms. I had 72W (100W Equiv) B22 Bayonet Halogen Low Energy Saving GLS Lamp [KHL72GLS/B22] in them and they were fine.
I just bought Dimmable 20w (100w) Eveready Soft Lite Bayonet B22 / BC Micro Spiral[ERSLLEMS20WBCDI] to be more energy efficient but they flicker badly on lower settings. It's got worse so now they flicker all the time.
I wonder if it's my dimmer switches specs that are not suitable? I'm not sure how to check.
Do I need to go back to the Halogens or is there something else I can do. Maybe new dimmer switches?
2) I bought 2 GU10 LED BULB 6W WITH 27 x 5050 SMD LED's and put them in my kitchen's track light.
They worked great at first, came on immediately and lit perfectly, so I've ordered another 2 as there are 4 lights in total on the track.
But after a couple of days they have gone very dim, they don't get bright at all. the other 2 bulbs sharing the track with them are 11W (50W) GU10 Kosnic Low Energy Saving. Could these be effecting them?
It's hard to believe they both have the same fault.
Any ideas?
