Kosnic 5w led dimmable??

[ash_s3]

Just fitted four kosnic 5w dimmable led gu10 lamps in my bathroom switched via a dimming pull cord, however when dimming nothing happens for a few seconds then all of a sudden they dim right down to nothing very quickly!
Am I right in thinking there may not be enough load of the dimmer to dim it accurately?

When you do get them to dim a little the light output is very flickery.

Cheers

Never heard of a dimming pull cord, could you do a link?

Here you go, used before in old house but that was using 50w halogens.
Just read the instructions (Doh!) and it says min wattage 50w, I only have 20w installed.

Thanks ash, never knew that existed, learn something new everyday!

No worries! They're about a tenner from electric center and £20 from city's!
They work really well with the halogens aswell.

To dim LED lamps you need to use either trailing or leading edge dimmers.
