Another thing that could be related is that the splice between the transformer and the connector that goes to the strand burned out on both track lighting strands. This caused both sets of lights to go out. These burnouts happened within weeks of each other. We actually installed them at two different times (weeks apart). We fixed the problems on both strands, and the lights work fine now. Could this in some way be related to the flickering light switch? The flicker has been there since we installed the track lighting strands. Are these signs of a larger problem? |
I have two sets of these lights working in a hallway, operated by a 3 way switch. Both sets have worked great for about a year and then I installed dimmer switches several months ago. They have been working great until last night, one of the Radium strands went out but the other works fine. I have not yet checked the connection in the unit that went out. I know the dimmers were installed properly but have no idea why the one strand would go out on its own. Seemed like you were using the same type of lighting from Ikea..mine is the older Radium, with the clear casing with perforated aluminum looking shades around the bulbs as opposed to the newer, solid shades.
Please let us know if you have any other problems with your lights...I looking at the light box now to see if anything can be fixed there...but I am not an electrician...just hoping that these lights will hold their weight...and not all go out due to design.
Also, should I try to just re trim the connection wires and re connect with freshly uncoverd wire...granted I can not see any other problem?? I will check the ground connection as well to make sure it has not come un done.
