I didn't need or ask for the money. But at least I'm supporting a small local business.

Should have given it to charity then. They'll need it with 200k deaths.

Just fitted some LED lighting in the wardrobe for the Mrs and now off to the shop for 'heat shrink' tubing. Been years since I used the stuff...

Well the LED lighting went down a treat

and it was weird playing with that heat shrink tube stuff.
Next little project is to investigate/fix the kitchen lighting issu. One of 5 LED ceiling lights started flickering. You guessed it, that style of fitting is no longer available so I replaced all 5 with new and I made sure the new were able to be dimmed. They flickered occasionally so I figured the dimmer switch too was 'old tech' and replaced it. Still happening :miffed:
All new stuff should be compatible so I'm off to read up and post question in another forum but feel free to offer a suggestion

Investigations reveal I need a
compatible dimmer for the new LED fittings

You'd think there was a standard wouldn't you!
So off to the lighting shop later in the week
Meanwhile I finished 2 Lego Technic rebuilds

Good fun and a challenge.

There's usually only two types of dimming when it comes to American LED lighting. Line voltage and low voltage. Line voltage dimming has a lot of compatibility issues, which is why the majority of today's LED lighting is going to low voltage dimming. I'm pretty sure you're trying to do line voltage dimming. You need to make sure you have a dimmer that's compatible with LED drivers and even if it is compatible you can still have issues with flickering at various light levels or the lights shutting off before they really dim. It might have helped to do the research prior to replacing the lights. Live and learn I guess. GL.

Last week I replaced the front four speakers on my bike with a newer series. The low end mid bass sounds much better as anticipated. However, my new bag lids haven't arrived yet. So I still can't install my rear speakers.
On Sunday I helped a friend install a new amp and front speakers in his bike.
