Led Bulbs And Detectors.

[Bramleyboy]

I have lights outside my garage which come on automatically. The lights were dim so I replaced them with LED bulbs but then the bulbs just flashed all the time, even in daylight. Can anyone suggest a detector that will work LED bulbs. Many thanks, Bramley.

I assume that you're referring to solar-powered lighting (rather than to mains-powered). If so, see here for some possible solutions:

Many automatic switching devices don't like low-power loads. I have automatic light-sensitive timers in some of my rooms and changing from tungsten to low-energy bulbs caused exactly your problem. Strangely, they would work with the early low-energy bulbs but not LED. Looking at the packaging for the timer it said that a minimum load was required and changing from the old style low-energy to LED took them just below the limit. My timer failed a few weeks ago, so I bought a replacement - same make but an updated model, which now works with LEDs.
My switch WAS a Timeguard ZV700, the replacement IS a ZV700B. It could be that replacing the switch with a newer model could solve your problem but check the load requirements first.

To expand on my earlier post the ZV700B will cope with 40-400watt filament lighting, 17-76watt fluorescent lighting. LED lighting is 5watt min individual bulb with max 20watt total load. I have a 3-branch chandelier with 5.8watt LEDs which works perfectly.
