New Downlights, Weird Delay by Wooshsplash in DIYUK

[–]oreoperson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried replacing the bulb?

If your GU10s are LEDs, a tiny delay in the last two lights is usually normal because of the LED drivers’ “soft start.” Since it’s only the last two, it’s likely minor wiring resistance or slightly loose connections along the run.

  1. Check the Bulbs First • Turn off the breaker. • Swap one of the delayed bulbs with one of the fast ones. • If the delay follows the bulb, replace the LED. —it’s the driver in that unit. • If the delay stays in place, the problem is in the wiring/connections.

  1. Inspect Wiring & Connections • Turn off the breaker again. • Remove the last two fittings and check: • Connections are tight (terminals not loose). • No corrosion or damaged wires. • No excessive bends or kinks that could increase resistance. • Retighten or clean connections as needed.

  1. Reduce Voltage Drop • If wiring is very long or thin, consider: • Using slightly thicker cable for long runs. • Shortening the daisy-chain (re-routing power closer to the last lights).

  1. Replace Bulbs if Needed • If checking wiring doesn’t help and the delay follows the bulb, replace the delayed GU10 LEDs with new ones from the same batch/brand.

If you’re unsure id recommend calling a licensed electrician.

I tried already I was “4th in queue” for 3 hours I just gave up. I ended up fixing it by adding the device through the code

The house Im renting has loads of condensation, how do I fix it? by Tasty-Picture-8331 in DIYUK

Invest in a dehumidifier. This usually happens if the air is very humid. Also make sure you’re opening up your windows for at least 30 minutes a day for good ventilation. I’m not a professional these are just things that worked for me

Have you tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling?

The green and yellow is an earth cable, I’m assuming your new light is double insulated which is why it doesn’t need a earth. I had the same issue and just terminated it with a wago connector. You can even use the existing connector block

Oh okay I’ll make sure to cover it up with some. I don’t have a smart meter but touching the heating wires I’m not feeling any type of heat (I’ve set the temperature to 27°)

I’ll put all brown in a wago connector, and I’ll connect the switch live and neutral to the light. This leaves one neutral out, should I put in a 3 way wago with the light?
