Same bloke in TLC Direct in the lamp holder post, reckoned that the 18th
edition will specify that all new lighting installations after a certain
date will have to be low voltage.

Anyone heard this?

I hope not. When I installed 12V LED spotlights they obliterated
radio reception.

Should have used a toroid...


I did. Three of them in fact.


So you were feeding these LEDs 12vAC?


Yes. I understand this is where the problem lay, with the switched
mode converter handling 19 or so times the current mains would have
needed. I had to go back to halogen.
