  1. I'm looking for a reputable installer to start my solar journey on the East Rand. Looking for a 8kW Sunsynk inverter, panels + batteries to provide +- 20units of daytime power (from solar) + +-5units of night/load shedding battery power. System needs to be modular and upgradable. Also looking for advice on things to look out for and things others would have done differently.
  2. Thanks @NigelL. Does that mean there's power being consumed even when when the switch was off?
  3. So this weekend I tried to swop my existing 50W Osram downlights with 4W LED lights. The problem is the existing downlights were on a dimmer switch and now when I change all the lights to LEDs they stay on even the switch is off (LEDs are non-dimmable). If I leave one of the older bulbs in then they go off and even dim. The switch is the one you hold down which cycles between max/min brightness. I don't mind losing the ability to dim the lights but does that mean I will need to change the switch or is the an easier solution that I'm overlooking. Thanks.
