[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 544033, member: 250"] Just a side note re your above comment... Are your new dimmer switches LED compatible? Traditional dimmer switches are NOT compatible with low power LED lamps. And for reasons I still don't understand... far to many suppliers still sell dimmers that only work with traditional filament / halogen lamps!!! I had a customer a few weeks ago who had bought a new decorative dimmer switch and a new LED dimmable light fitting... Light fitting was all good.. But dimmer no good, as it was NOT LED compatible!!!! Basically if it does not specifically state LED dimmer on the packaging.. you need to be looking at the "Minimum load".. Traditional dimmers are typically 40 or 60watts minimum... which are no good when you are using LED lamps that are typically nearer 5watts! [/QUOTE]
