    I had 2 LED sensor lights fitted to the front and back of my house about 6 months ago, both have stopped working correctly. They glow very faint now when activated, the person who installed them is non contactable. Is there anything I can do before I get new ones fitted?

    If they both stopped working at the same time it suggests a common fault, such as a wiring issue. If they failed at different times it is more likely to be as a result of using low quality light fittings.

    You could stick on the kettle :D
    I would suggest that you use a good quality make such as Stinel next time around (high quality + 5 year warranty).

    Thanks, they both went the same time. (Within a day of me noticing) I’ll have to get wiring checked but will probably get them replaced with a better model. The uncontactable electrician was not that reliable it may seem
