Doing a job today where they have low voltage halogen down lighters. Most transformers have blown so wanted Led Down lighters. Swapped first set out in kitchen changed old dimmer for led driver version all is good works a treat. Lady says can you change the others out in the dinning room and lounge. Removed all transformers replaced with LED down lighters as before . Went to dimmer switch to change as before only to find dimmer cabling is cat 5 data cable, thought there must be a controller some where. Customer did not know of such a thing. As all transformers removed were 230 volt thought I would try it to see what happens. Lights all came on but when trying to dim mid range it was as if I was in a disco. Searched through loft and found a connection unit which said Hamilton Litestat, Digital Mercury. Spoke to them and they say I need to have a resistive load. Suggested trying a GU10 in one of the lights to see if it improves, He also mentioned a dummy load resister could be fitted.

Has anyone had this problem ? Any suggestions
Thanks. AdieB
