[QUOTE="dps4, post: 561405, member: 38515"] Hey.. I’ve installed many lights at home before with no problems but I’ve got stuck installing a led light strip in my home office. The old light wasn’t a led light, it was some old spotlights. It is on a loop wiring system with two blacks going into one neutral wire and two live wires, one insulated off in tape and the other going to the red live wire terminal. Earth wire is also present. I then tried to wire in the new led light in the same way but just got a high pitched squealing noise from the driver unit and no light. I tried over and over to rewire it thinking I had a loose connection but nothing. I randomly have another brand new led light so tried to install that instead. Same issue. I then went out and bought a new switch and wondered if that was the problem, along with a pendant light fitting. Pendant light worked fine with the new switch and same wiring config, led light didn’t do a thing.. just squealed at me again. I’m really lost.. any ideas?i This is the light I have: [URL]https://lassola.co.uk/products/edge-flush-mount-ceiling-light-l-60-80-100-120cm[/URL] it’s the 100cm one so 20 watts. And it’s the 3 colour variant. I bought a standard 1 way switch. Any advice appreciated! Daniel [/QUOTE]
