    G4 LED's & Aurora AU-LED16T 12v constant 16W LED Driver, does it matter about the polarity ?

    Using these lights (wired in parallel) 6 x 2W is ok to use a 12V constant voltage 16W led driver Aurora AU-LED16T. My question is they are a G4 fitting which goes, either way, does the polarity of the bulb cause an issue or do electronics inside take care of this. Many thanks in advance.

    Why are 'most' LED dimmer switches limited to 10 led's?

    As in the title. The varilight V-pro and MK intelligent dimmer both say they can dim up to a maximum of 10 LED's. Why can they dim no more, even if the maximum wattage is not reached? I can find no explanation on their sites. Zano produce a dimmer which can dim a much higher amount of LED's...

    Chances of constant current LED's having been fried!?

    Picked up a job where the previous electricians had not connected some collingwood LED stair lights (they were exited from the job!), they had been wired in parallel and no doubt hooked up to an LED driver, anyone up on their electronics? Have they definitely been fried or is it worth taking a...
