Led lights flickering

    Hi, hoping someone can help me. I've removed two old wall lights, halogens, and replaced them with Phillips leds with inbuilt drivers.

    Whatever I do there is always one that flickers. They're on a two way switch with a switch on landing and one downstairs. I've recently changed the switches to new Schneider ones.

    When fitted together one is strong, one dim name flickering. I've attached a pic of the one set of wiring that I'm trying to fit the one light to.

    Was wondering/hopeful someone might know what I've done and could tell me what I'd define wrong/that I'd done something obvious and stupid.

    Much appreciated for any advice. Cheers

    Are the wall lights meant to come on together if yes then the single black which should be a switch live should be wired in the same block as the single red which i assume goes to other wall light, then connect your light to neutrals and red and black in block but this is all guess work without actually testing them

    Amazing. I've just done it and it works perfectly. Thank you very much- hugely appreciated and means I have got rid of a nagging wife. Genuine thinks. Was driving me mad to what I'd done. Top man
     
  4. Ah, the wonderful trust demonstrated by peeps who come on here :).

    I'm pretty sure Meagles doesn't actually understand what each wire in that bundle does, but he happily joined a red to a black 'cos someone on here said so :D
