Hi
I have a socket for a hub light which keeps flickering. The light is an LED MR16 with GU5.3 Base. I think the socket currently installed the holes that you stick the light base into have gotten much bigger that the light pins so I think this is why they keep flickering and eventually dieing until I push them back in.
I want to replace this socket with a GU10 socket so I bought one from Home Depo called "Atron Socket". On the back it says "GU 10 Halogen Socket Twist and Lock 250 Watt, 250 Volts with 6" leads"
Now I removed the old socket and wired up this new socket but the light does not turn on at all. I don't understand why. I know it is not light bulb as I tested that it works, I twisted the cables together and am pretty sure that is correct and I tried 2 of these GU 10 sockets so I know they can't be defective.
I put the old socket back on and had no problem getting that to work so I think my method is correct. Is it because I am using an LED bulb instead of a Halogen?
