[QUOTE="jaysparks79, post: 394830, member: 26268"] Hi guys. I fitted a new light in a mates house. I connected it to existing downlight circuit which are LEDs. Didn't see a transformer so wired up and fine. Then get a call to say lights are flashing. Only done this once in two weeks and no problems since. Thought maybe all existing lights were on one transformer but the new light has 9 40w gls bulbs and they all glow at full brightness. Lights are on a dimmer and was told when they flashed it wad when they were dimmed. Also the light i picked a feed up from was nearest the switch but no sign of a transformer. Do went to check the voltage with a multimeter (all i had with me at the time) as i went across the line and earth all the lights on circuit went out. Got a reading of 210v. Any thoughts on what the problem(s) could be as do want to leave it with a potential fault. many thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
