Home Improvement Asked by Brodie on September 30, 2020
I purchased a home that has recessed lighting throughout. They are the LED lights that clip into a standard light bulb screw-in socket. They all point straight down and I wanted to purchase some that gimbal to highlight some artwork.
All of the existing lights are 10w 120v/60hz.
I purchased a 15w gimballed light and tested it in a bedroom and it worked fine.
However, when I installed it in the main room where the artwork is, it would not turn on. I tested two different fixtures with the same result. I then tested the new light in the kitchen and it worked fine in there.
The main room has a total of 12 lights where the other rooms I tested only have 4. This is the only difference that I could think of between the two rooms.
I ordered a 10w gimbaled light to test but it just seems strange to me that this is the problem.
Anything else I haven’t though of?
As the comments above indicated, the problem was a dimmer switch that I didn't know existed.
