Puzzling challenge for those in the know, mystery voltage when Ac LED is present
Ok folks, this one is stumping me big time. I'll try to lay it unsuccessful as best I can and maybe mortal will be intimate what's going on.
I hold a Hunter ceiling fan in my son's room. It has a light fixture that uses 2 candelabra base bulbs. Looks like they'atomic number 75 25 watt but the existing bulbs father't really clarify. Well, one has burned unconscious and I wanted to put LED's in IT. So I went shopping for candelabra base LEDs that are the equivalent of 25 watt incandescent bulbs. Non a lot out there! I did find some Utilitech Pro bulbs styled like the ones I'm replacing at Lowe's that are 4 watt 2700K. (supposedly a direct replacement at 200 lumens)
Now here's where things start getting weird. I put one of the LEDs in the fixture diametric the incan bulb and it genuinely is a very close half-and-half to that bulb. But when I tried to put the endorsement bulb in IT got weird fast! Initiatory thing, while the incan was alight by itself with an empty socket opposing it, the LED will not burn with the opposing socket barren. I was swapping em hot…yeah yea shame on me. But now begin this, turn the light off and the LED glows! Screw in the second Light-emitting diode and the glow is reduced flatbottomed further and they some glow…power off! Neither bulb works when you turn the tack on. So they glow when off, nothing when on. And for to a greater extent outlandishness, supercede one of the LEDs with the incan and there's no glow when slay.
So, I got out the DMM and checked for potential difference when the light is inside-out off. Things got weird all over again! With unmatchable LED in place (glow although the switch is away) the empty socket reads 8V. With both sockets vacant they each read 0.1V. What is going on here?
This fixture on the Hunter fan is limited with pull out irons or a unaccessible that mounts at the wall switch but is mobile. This light has always been screen of unmatched in that any flutter of the electricity from a force or whatever and the light comes connected, possibly the sports fan. There are Hi.Med.Lo modes connected the removed for the devotee, but only an on/off for the light.
How can empty sockets read 0.1V OFF, and so change to 8.0V when an LED is screwed into one socket?
I'd like both bulbs in there, but only if they're trustworthy. One incan and one LED sunburn fine put together and it's hard to differentiate which is which with the diffuser on.
The LED in question is the Utilitech PRO from Lowe's, set forth act 0199324, purportedly dimmable, G16.5 Indoor/Outdoor 25W tantamount and 200 lumens at 4 watt. 2700K people of colour temperature. The bulb has text identification reading LG16512C20027K2 120V 4W 60Hz on one side and Utilitech PRO 206331 with SA inside a C on the other side.
I'd really appreciate some help y'all have to go. Thanks!
