Some help with LEDs

dkishton1486 · Jan 17, 2016

Hello all I replaced my mr11 halogen lights above my kitchen sink with some mr11 LEDs. The issue i have now is that the LEDs will flicker when turned on and will stop flickering if I plug in a halogen bulb. The power supply for the mr11 LEDs states "Power Supply: AC 12V & DC 12V/1.8W". What do I have to do to resolve this?
Thank You

Do you have a dimmer on the circuit?

dkishton1486 · Jan 17, 2016

No there is no dimmer on the circuit

I can get you a picture of the power supply if you need it

Something I have experienced with xenon is that if the power supply exceeds the load, in a disproportionate volume, they would flicker until the load was increased.

So, the cure may be to change the Halogen power supply to one closer to the 1.8w LED draw.

So since I have 2 of the LEDs on the same power supply do I still look for a 1.8v power supply?

Would this work? http://m.homedepot.com/p/Armacost-L...White-LED-Power-Supply-ALSLT06W12VB/204512712

Thanks for the update.

I would be inclined to try that because at 6w it is close to the 3.6w draw of the LED's, unlike the 60w xformer used to power the halogen.

Thank you I will order that and try it.
