Hi,

I have a downstairs toilet with two spotlights. I have recently replaced the MR16s with two GU10 LEDs. This has meant that my PIR makes the lights flash repeatedly.

I have another PIR in the utility which has 6 spotlights on (all GU10 LEDs) and this one works fine. I have tried swapping the switches around and I have the same problem, so the issue is with the lights in the downstairs toilet.

See image of the back of the light switch. It even has a Energy Saving Lamps setting, but it does not matter how I switch this I still get the same problem.

Someone on another forum solved the problem by inserting a standard GU10 bulb into one of the sockets, but I have tried this on both sockets and the lights just remain on continuously if I do that.

Does anyone have any idea on how I can solve this situation? The reason why I don't want to go back to a normal switch is my wife and kids leave this light on all the time and I am away a lot with work!
