Hi,
I replaced the 50w spotlights in my kitchen with GU10 LED 3.5 w bulbs. At first they were brilliant but they soon seemed to fail with a mark in the centre of the bulb like a scorch mark.
I think there is a transformer in the loft for the kitchen spots and I thought it could be something to do with that, but the separate light in the centre of the kitchen had the same result.
Both sets of lights in the kitchen are wired to dimmer switches and although they didn't "dim"
the bulbs as they were non dimmable they didn't make the 50w bulbs fail.
I'm wondering if the switches could be the problem with the LED bulbs.
I have replaced all the spots in my shower room with the same LED bulbs and these are fine but there are no dimmer switches in there. Could this be the problem??
I'd appreciate any advice.
