Hi everybody. Had a few issues with GU10 LED's (3.5W), seem to dim or flicker. Does anyone know of any circumstances that can cause this?
My wholesalers assure me that 'mine are the first to be returned', which I doubt!
A bit concerned as I have installed hundreds of these, or the 5w counterparts now so don't want to keep going back to jobs.
 
are they on a dimmer? then may be a not compatible dimmer.
if standard switch then you have some dodgy connections or just bad batch of lamps. what lamps are they?
 
Connection to the Switch, from the Switch to the Light, Light bulb, Return to CU.

Im guessing you have put new ones in. (see how they go)
If you could try one of the OLD ones but just with No Switch and see if it stays stable..
Worried that CHINESE might be Faking these as well, (If they fake Eggs, they will Fake any thing)
 
Got some Megaman LEDS 7w and one of them flickered from new lasted about an hour then went dead was replaced FOC. Other than that all mine even the £2 jobies from home bargains are going well (I would recomend them) fitted about 30 in my house and at other family members and not one has failed so prehaps your supplier is telling you the truth lets hope so.
