A 20w halogen bulb blew in my under cabinet lighting bar. I replaced the bulb with a 1.1w LED / 10w conventional. It worked but the 2 bulbs were different shades. When I added the 2nd 1.1w LED, it won’t work. When I turn it on (connect via wall switch to mains) it literally flashes on once and goes off. The bulbs have not blown because if I switch it on again, the bulbs will flash quickly once more and go off again. Any ideas how I can get this to work? Cheers

There will be a transformer/driver unit somewhere
prob thrown on top of a cupboard by the kitchen fitter
sounds like it isn't comparable with what you have bought
you most likely need an LED driver ....but very low wattage to,replace it with

Strange beasts LED lamps
changed loads on a refit
12v 50W halogens off IBL electronic transformers.....2 per unit
about 80% of the new LEDs worked off existing transformers , had to change the others to Corner Shop LED drivers, despite the Philips Core lamps being suitable for AC/DC. Now I just swap,the drivers as part of the job as I'm sick of the hassle and call backs

100% agree
or in the case of downlights swap units to 230v units then the customer can change the bulbs there after ....
