[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 451783, member: 1607"] A GU10 LED less than 12months old, electronics failed, blew the lighting circuit fuse, unable to reset until lamp removed. (The actual LED part was still functional if you tested it with a 12v battery). So be assured LED's can take a lot of current down the supply cable if they fail. As Andy quite rightly says, with DIY work you can choose to do whatever you want, its your risk, your home, your family etc.. But any competent electrician will have a legal duty of care to ensure their work is designed not just to operate, but to Fail-Safe. Doc H. [ATTACH]8759._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
