Replacing dimmer switch with LED compatible?
In article ,
Lobster wrote: I've dismantled the switch unit and examined the dimmer switch inside - it's this model (Hopestar LD-901): http://tinyurl.com/h5so69z (or http://www.dg-hopestar.com/En/ProductView.asp?ID=38) - clearly not LED-compatible. So, am wondering whether there's any mileage in modifying my lamp somehow to accept an LED? I can see "LD-600D" on the far right of the Hopestar link, but can't find anything else about it. Wouldn't mind rewiring my lamp to a suitable flex-based switch if one was available? I have some ancient MK grid dimmers - 25 years old at least. Replaced the bulbs on one circuit with dimmable LEDs (from ASDA) and they dim perfectly to zero. Dimmer is probably a 250-300w type, and the total load of the LEDs about 10w. -- *ONE NICE THING ABOUT EGOTISTS: THEY DON'T TALK ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE.
