Track lighting or recessed cans that do not allow for maximum heat ventilation can cause problems for LEDs. Switch to a smaller LED and one with a good heat sink.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eVoltage may become and issue with a low voltage LED lamp. LED’s may not meet transformer minimum load requirements. Therefore you might want to replace the transformer and increase the number of lamps used. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eFinding compatible transformers is also a key in choosing LED lamps. Transformer frequency may not equal driver frequency, and lamp life is then sacrificed. Consult your manufacturer for a list of compatible transformers. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eNot all LED lamps are dimmable and they may not be compatible with all dimmers. You should select an LED specially designed for dimming and consult your manufacturer. For best results, pair a dimmable LED lamp with a dimmer specifically designed for LEDs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/3726\/3048\/collections\/apivav5fy__66165.jpg?v=1778240011","url":"https:\/\/plumlighting.com\/collections\/lighting-resources-light-bulb-learning-center-led-light-bulbs-basic-led-troubleshooting.oembed","provider":"Superior Lighting","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
