Hello everyone, I recently bought 12 x 1.3w LED G4 bulbs to replace the 12 x 10w halogen bulbs in my kitchen light, I fitted them today but only 11 light up and they all flicker. I've swapped the bulbs about to confirm the bulb and light fitting itself is working so now I need help on how to solve it, do I just need a transformer to go between the wiring and light or something else?
thanks in advance!

sorted byDon't let the twin and earth confuse you, it is common practice to wire 240v to transformer and out the other side (low voltage) to the fitting, saves carrying 2 types of cable for 1 job.
Depends what you mean by "flicker", LED's may show a constant 100Hz flicker which you might be sensitive to, but transformer compatibility flicker is a lot more vicious and not necessarily constant
electronic transformer for lv halogen lamps 50-160w
model htv160c1
anyone have a link for a led driver I can use to replace the transformer? It's 12 x 1.3w LED bulbs
This is the transformer that's currently in the light

Try replacing half with incandescent lamps and see if that makes a difference?
