Hi,

 

Got a problem with some LV transformers as they keep failing :( I have connected them into the 5 amp lighting circuit and they work for a while and then just give up. I've included the instructions for the transformer if that helps.

 

Cheers

sounds to me like youre over powering the transformers .. common mistake , check the output watts on the transformer always allow 10% more power on the transformer to watts on the bulb .. ie: 110w transformer =100w of of bulbs .. failing that bud when you get the gauges in i'll have a look at em for ya

If your talking household ones they can be a pain sometimes. I've fitted lots and some just fail but mostly to hot, so careful where you mount them. Your one is no more than 60w, i would fit 50w bulb.

I may even stop installing them and only fit the mains downlighters.

They are under cabinet downlights and are only 20 watts each. The transformer output is 60w and the transformer is only powering 2 lamps so shouldn't think the transformer has any hard work to do :(
