RE: CBUS dimmer & GU10 LED not functioning as expected

When cbus dimmer channels are "turned off" there is still voltage
present at
the output terminals, hence the dimmer being labelled up with something
like
"output channel not isolated when off". If controlling LED lamps
directly I
think you will have to use a relay channel so as to totally remove the
voltage when turned off.

Have also found out if I plug a normal GU10 bulb in to one of the
sockets (theres 2 on each run) so theres a normal bulb and a LED one it
works fine
