Light fitting update, i successfully replaced it myself, or so i thought.
was working fine but we only had non dimmable bulbs, the switch is a modern dimmer.
dimmable bulbs arrived today and ive realised now its dark that even when the switch off its lit up very low
is this a dimmer, bulb, or my wiring problem? the previous bulb was incandescent if that makes a difference..
Probably the dimmer switch. Dimming LEDs is hard, and unlike incandescents will require pulse width modulation rather than a variable voltage supply.
hm, the same switches are used throughout the whole house and there’s LED in most places, maybe need to try some more bulbs
