LED lighting issue

dknights92 · Mar 5, 2021

I have recently changed over to 6W LED fittings in my bathroom. They are fed from a junction box that has the incoming feed, outgoing feed to bedroom light, fan isolator and bathroom pull cord switch.

When switching on the bedroom light the bathroom LED's come on very dim and I'm getting a reading of 4V, the bedroom light is a dimmer so i wired that into a wago to see if it was the switch but still having the issue.

If someone could give me some advise or a resolution i would be grateful.

Thanks

induced voltage???

What exactly did you have in place before changing the lights to 6W LED?
Not, for example, low voltage 12V MR16 lamps, and you still have the transformer(s) in place?

They were 12v transformer lights in two circuits a total of 6 lamps, transformers removed and wired the 6 lights to one radial. As someone said above I think it’s induce voltage so I think I will install a Glowfix Load Regulator
