[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 481212, member: 250"] Maybe to elaborate a bit more on the symptoms you described...…. Or maybe not... (I am not sure if you are aware but)… The actual LED bit that produces the light does not directly run off the 230v AC mains supply that comes into your house. It requires a much lower DC voltage. So in light fittings that have a built in LED lamp, there has to be some driver circuitry that converts the mains 230v to a usable voltage for the LED element. It is not at all unusual for this circuitry to fail, even though the actual LED bit is still fine. It sounds to me like something is overheating in the circuitry, goes off, cools down a bit, comes back on, flickers then goes back off till it cools again. but that is just guessing! Unlikely to be your wiring IMHO. Guinness :Salute [/QUOTE]
