Cooker Hood Light - change to LED

karlitob · 2021-03-04 20:17:20

Hi all Before I spend money on expensive LED E14 cooler hood bulb x 2. I’ve read issues with flickering that can occur when people swap halogen for LED due to potential issues with transformer. Any insights? Thanks.

It would seem that you’re not using a transformer for your bulbs, as they’re regular 230v bulbs.
