Strange goings on...............

[LewisM]

Two LED lights in my lounge that I installed a month are ago are dimming and brightening themselves for no apparent reason and its got me stumped big time I've added a video but it doesn't really show much.

It seems that when one is on it works fine but when you switch them both on they dim and brighten in apparent random patterns and I can't see why.

They're just on a standard two gang switch they are not dimmable anyway.

I've check and tested connections which are all sound no loose neutral etc, voltage is stable just cant see both the lights going faulty at the same time as the problem.

All other lighting which is all LED in the house is fine an unaffected

Try swapping the lamps over to another room,
See if the problem moves with them ?

@LewisM ,

Can you take some pictures of the switch wiring and the wiring in each of the lights and post them here?

Are the lamps in the lights low voltage (12v) or are they all mains lamps?

Them's not JCC 6's?

Need more info on the lights .....

 

[LewisM]

Integrated LEDs from a 50v driver constant current

Duff lamps maybe are they cheap ones form Screwfix?

 

[LewisM]

Well this is embarrassing turns out the lights have a dimming cycle to set the brightness and you have to switch them on and off in a certain pattern to set the brightness you want I must have accidentally set it into that mode

As long as the 'problem' is sorted, it's all good

Thanks for letting us know
