Hello,
I bought a couple of LED plinth lights and connected them up in parallel to a standard 12V switch mode power supply (measures a steady 12V) only to have one fail a few minutes after powering up and then the second one failing a few seconds later. A second pair did pretty much the same thing. They have a single SMD LED in them and appear to have a resistor built in.
Does anyone know why this might be happening please? I'm probably missing something really obvious but can't think what the problem might be at the moment!
Thanks,
J
