[QUOTE="robvanveen, post: 290602, member: 21140"] Hi, I posted a separate topic (which is very close to this topic) elsewhere on this website, and was encouraged to read and add to this topic, and I did. I understand the logic of side-by-side wires creating a capacitor, which unloads using the (LED)-light: fine. I fitted two 4W 240V LED GU10 lights in the downstairs hall (replacing two 240V CFL GU10 lights. Lights can be switched on/of from both upstairs and downstairs. So that ticks all the boxes of long parallel wires: and indeed, my lights flash to no end. 4W 240V lights means (I think) just under 17mA which is very little. Adding a gadget to be connected to both connectors of the lamp would fix the problem when the lamp is switched off, but would surely increase the energy consumption when it is on. And I would have thought that would then (partially) defeat the purpose of having low energy lamps. Is this true, or is this additional current marginal compared to the 17mA? Thanks, Rob [/QUOTE]
