Guys I'm at a wits end! Feel like I have exhausted all options here.
I've been making one of those Hollywood mirrors for the mrs. Large mirror, wooden frame, 10 5w dimmable LEDS.
Its all made, wired in etc yet in having issues with the electrics.
First off fitted all 10 lamps, plugged in. Flicked the switch. Bang. Fried the dimmer controller and took out the circuit breaker for the socket.
Removed all wires. Checked over. Checked for any short circuits. Re wired 5 lane holders. Continuity between live is good, as is neutral. Open circuit with no lamps in. Plug in, first 4 lamps work fine, putting in 1 at a time. Get to number 5. Bang. Takes breaker out again.
Using 0.75mm flex, 5w dimmable leds. Lamp holders stated suitable for LEDS.
N.B. it isnt the same holder blowing each time, just depends which is number 5 lamp fitted.
I'm out of ideas
