    They flash rapidly after 5 mins use and the dimmer switch hums loudly - i've read up a bit and it appears i need to replace the dimmer switches on the wall to work with leds. Is this a big job and has anyone experience with this problem?

    Yes, you're correct, you need a dedicated dimmer. They will be marked to work with LEDs. It's apparently to do with the lower voltage of the bulbs.

    There are 2 versions of LEDs also. Ones you can dim, and non dimming.

    I'm not an electrician.
