So I guess when buying LEDs we have to be careful that they are compatible with Clipsal dimmers. Yeah just check with the lighting supplier to see what dimmers they are compatible with and you should be right. It was a big problem in the early days but most lighting suppliers seem to have it sorted now.

I have these and their transformer holder to fit as well. http://www.arrowform.com.au/downlight-c ... uard&idx=4 Other than compliance with all that, I don't see that there can be an issue with plugging in the downlights that come with the plug and flex.

If one goes you can just unplug and replace (under warranty). They may do this but some may try to wire them. It costs VERY little extra. I am planning to get shelly dimmers added to the non-smart switches that control light. It has no affect on the mechanical functioning of the switch and this is wired… 1 1428 I recently went through a similar renovation and move scenario when updating our family home.
