Good afternoon!
I've recently wired a lighting system, where one light switch (a motion sensor) turns on two lights, but another motion sensor switch turns on just one.
Here is my wiring schematic: (In the schematic, the transformer connects to a 12V LED and the spotlight runs on 230V mains.)
The problem with this is that as shown in the schematic, the LED spotlight only gets half of the sine wave, so it flickers too much. My uncle has epilepsy, so I need to address this problem. I added a diode next to the spotlight because when I turn on the first switch, the spotlight turns on when it's not supposed to, because of the backward AC cycle.
My possible solutions could be:
1) Use an incandescent bulb for higher light inertia, but those are energy inefficient.
2) Use an SCR or a relay, which complicates the circuit and I've no real experience with SCRs.
Please let me know if you've got any advice that could help alleviate the flickering. (Changing schematic or using special use bulbs). Feel free to ask anything.
