Help! New led lights don't work

Replaced 4 small flush mount lights over sink. Bought led bulbs. They stay on really dim all the time. Switch won't turn them on or off. Dimmer switch does nothing either
  • My guess is that it is the dimmer. Most LED's will not function with this kind of a device in line.

    I see you mentioned a dimmer switch setup. If this dimmer was for your incandescent automotive type bulbs I don't think it will work on LED LIGHTS... LED lights take a different type of DIMMER system to make them work then the Incandescent automotive type bulbs use.

    Lets hope the reverse wires is the problem but in my case here if the wires were reversed I did not get any LED operations at all...

  • Some will do that when they are reversed.
    Reverse the wires

    Check the polarity but when reversed they usually do not work at all. Try one somewhere else
