    Help Requested on LED Set-Up

    Hi All! I’m a hobbyist, but fairly skilled. I recently wired up a high end theater in my home, various new circuits, light fixtures, switches, etc. All came out excellent. But one thing I was installing is either faulty, or simply beyond my skill level. I intended to install two 16” LED strips...

    LED tubes failure mode

    I just wondered if anyone else has seen LED tubes do this (2 different fittings) I’m assuming this is a bad batch as this is apparently the 3rd to do this. Unfortunately testing the wiring was a little difficult due to a right rats nest installed behind two fire-trip wires that shut off the gas.

    240 V 10 Watt LED bulbs extremely dull

    Hi All, I have replaced two outside 240V 60 watt halogen bayonet bulbs with two 240V 10 watt LED globes but the LED globes are extremely dull, like a candle. Have tried 4 globes in other sockets in the house and they are very bright. There is no dimmer or transformer. Any ideas?

    What's the best way to soften/darken harsh office LED lights?

    Not an electrical question, but hopefully someone can help... I work full-time in a small office, where the LED lighting is horrible. It's three overhead square fittings (each 21" x 21" or thereabouts). They can't be dimmed and the light is intensely cold/harsh/eye-strain-inducing. I'm looking...

    Any best practices on installing/wiring configuration of multiple LED panels?

    Anyone could recommend "best practices" for wiring methodology of 64 LEDs (each req. 10V@700mA)? Including resistors, drivers, parallel/series, etc... Part of the question is if these should be configured in an 8 x 8 configuration where each one bundle is a 4 x 4 series/parallel setup? Drivers...
