LED downlights dim when kettle switched on..

[pc1966]

Simple check is to put a meter on a different circuit to the kettle (so you see the supply volts), switch the kettle and see if the LEDs change and if the meter reading is anything like a justifiable shift. If volts stable then its a dodgy dimmer/LED combination.

Bring back , nice big smoothing chokes , full of copper and stop putting it in cars.
