LED Downlight faulty - Strobe effect

[winston1]

If you really want to assist him, maybe you could advise him why the other 4 lights DO work with the original blue boxes.

The answer is, "I don't know." Maybe tolerances, maybe they won't work for long until something is damaged. At the end of the day they should be changed for the correct LED power supplies.

@winston1 , still no real help to the poster, I see.

@homemove there is a handy ignore feature, should you decide not to see posts from unhelpful/confusing posters. Just click on their name and you'll get their profile panel.
Click on ignore. Hey presto, instant pedant removal!

The OP now knows, hopefully, that his blue boxes are not suitable for LEDs. Nothing unhelpful, confusing, or pedantic about that.

Only that you did not need to mention it, at all.

 

[winston1]

Just stop arguing for the sake of it.

Happy to. Providing you stop your campaign of badgering people. DIYers who come on here, asking for help, and just get from you a telling off that what they call a widget is really called a FRMX. Even when the item has a WIDGET label on it.

Just stop it. Think about some constructive help for the DIYer instead. The DIYer will appreciate it, and the other contributors on here will appreciate it too.

So, is that an agreement??

 

[winston1]

I'm not badgering anyone. I am giving advice that what he thinks is one thing is not which is why it won't work as he hopes.
If you don't appreciate it keep quiet?

Pot, kettle, black?

No good for LEDs but the name is on the label therefore that is what it is.

Had they called it a sausage; it would be a sausage.

If something is mislabelled, that is what it is, mislabelled, nothing more nothing less.

 

[EFLImpudence]

It's not mislabelled; that's what the manufacturer calls it therefore that is what it is whether you like it or not.

It's called evolution - of the language and of machines.

Not always good but I'm told I have to accept it and so do you.

 

[Taylortwocities]

If you have acomplaint about the labelling, contact the maker.
I've said this to you before. Don't confuse the DIYer with pointless minutae.

That's no good! As this is Electrics UK, I want instant pendant removal (But not before making a note of all the connections and preferably taking a picture...)

He doesn't want to do that.

He prefers to trawl the forum for mentions of the "t" word and pompously bang on about how these items are not what their manufacturers claim them to be.

That is absolute rubbish and you know it.
