LEDs... whats up here?

[alexg]

Hi Guys

I retrofitted some nice 7w LED gu10s this morning. fine. Turn them off later today - nope. Still on and probably as bright as before. Simple existing switch with no voltage on the load side when open and earth active at the switch. And no two way circuit.

Really dont see how induction could make them that bright!

Whats up doc? got a prescription?

Thanks!!

you didnt mix the switch wires up. but cant see why you even take switch off

 

[i=p/u]

existing switch... customer only changed the lamps... possibly the contacts in switch were on way out and have just stuck...!

 

[i=p/u]

Oops! Check you haven't wired them to the permanent live instead of the switched live.

Great idea... being a bit ignorant, do you know what type/from where roughly?

Much thanks!
