Next Bella 5 light? Halogen but using LED Flickers and then goes off..

Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 3.07 PM

Hi Guys, I am trying to install a pair of next bella 5 light with G4 Led bulbs. I initially purchased some cheap G4 LED bulbs from ebay and these caused the lights to flicker. I ordered some branded 3W led bulbs from Amazon and both lights come on for a few minutes and then turn off. Any idea how I can fix this? Spec Below: Bulbs not included, but we recommend a 20W G4 halogen bulb 10 pack 353-295 or 5 pack 193-698 All of our ceiling and wall lights are dimmable when used with our range of dimmable bulbs and dimmer switches 1) Do I need to buy an LED Driver? If i need a driver how can I make this sit nicely inside the top of the light without showing? 2) Do I need to buy 2W G4 LED Bulbs? Please let me know as this is puzzling me! ***UPDATE - I PURCHASED AN LED Driver and this worked****

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Your light is not led compatible it needs g4 halogen lamps you could put a driver in the ceiling above the light fitting

Hi,there's a very specific solution on the Next website product page reviews. Particularly useful if you plan on using a dimmer.

1st you need to make sure the lamps you have are dimmable and then use a Trailing edge dimmer. Most old dimmers will not work with the small loads of an LED lamp

If it’s on a dimmer switch, this could be the issue. Either non led dimmer or led bulbs not dimmable. Hope this helps
