Gu10 4W Led Flashing

[robvanveen]

Hi,

I replaced two 240v GU10 CFL with two 240v GU10 4W LED in our downstairs hall. Lights can be switched on and off from both upstairs and downstairs.

Problem is: The lights are flashing when off.

I read something about the long wiring having something to do with it.

The lights are 4W (they draw less than 4W / 240V = 17mA I guess). Is there a way to resolve this flashing, without increasing the energy consumption (too much).

Thanks,

Rob
