Hello,

Hi Problem: I have 5 (240v) led lights in a bedroom on a single on/off switch (not dimmer) and all the leds worked fine until last w/end. Then with the switch being off, the leds would flicker/strobe. Switch on and they all work fine. Disconnected the switch completely and still the same...

The job calls for an automatic door...
I am mostly curious as I don't think this is a very important issue.
In my bedroom I have 2 overhead recessed LED lights that are not on a dimmer. After several years of living with no issue, last week I noticed that they remained faintly on after turning the light switch off. They glowed...
Hi all, I am hoping someone can help me with my problem. Just started renting a place and it has under cabinet LED lighting in the kitchen. It's connected to a wall switch but it takes anywhere from 2 to 50 flicks of the switch before the lights come one. I have tried slow on/off patterns, long...
On the LED lamp I have I have the following information, 12v-440mA-3.4W, these figures don't stack up according to Ohms Law, I'm not too familiar with load ratings and calcs regarding LED's

It uses the LED Driver in the photo, which needs replacing (light is blinking).

I have an old emergency light with an almost dead 6 volt 4 amp battery inside, so I switched it to 2 x 18650 (3.7v, 4800mah) = 7.4 volt 4800mah.
