[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 561414, member: 250"] It is only dimmer switches that have to be compatible with dimmable LED lights.. Manual switches are no problem.. But your light states if you did have a dimmable fitting it uses a small remote control, not a dimmer switch.. You haven't had it connected via a traditional dimmer switch have you? Basically you are using the wrong, testing method.. 10 or 15minutes of dead testing with a suitable continuity tester, will prove the physical wiring connections and polarity etc.. If you have proved the wiring and switch you then the fault is related to the fitting itself. Dead testing is far safer than swapping and then trying various combinations of connecting live wires..
