Did a lighting job a few days ago in a sports hall , changing out dimmable surface mounted light to 600x600 LED panels .
There was a bit of rewireing to allow for standard switching as the old setup was a mains feed round the lights and a 2 core belden from a refractive switch .
Seemed to all go to plan , however I’ve had a report this morning of lights flickering and they want me back out to sort it , which I intend to do .
There are emergency lights in the hall that share the same circuit , they seem to be some sort of Dali system and go into self test mode . I’m wondering if anyone would know if this could be causing the flickering issue before i start wasting time looking for loose connections etc .
My theory is that with the lighting being changed to LED and also standard switching , when the emg lights go into self test mode , they send some sort of pulse that causes the flickering .
I could be totally wrong in this theory , I’m just wondering if anyone has experienced anything like this .
Many thanks
