Hi everyone,
I have 4 x MR16 (halogen) potlights running off of a switch.
Model: IT2000M from Contract Lighting Contraste - IT2000M - Remodel - https://www.contrastlighting.com/Housing/IT2000M?lang=en

The other day, there was a humming which I believe was coming from the electrical panel and then the pots stopped working.
I moved some bulbs around but none of the pots fired back up.

I have tested the light switch and it appears to have power and the breaker, which services other switches, appears to be fine.
When I check for power at the pots, there appears to be no power.

If one of the transformers were to blow, could this knock out power for all 4 pots?

Recommendations for next steps?

Appreciate any help you can provide.

Andrew

You could still have power to your switch but it’s probably going bad and breaking down. As far as the humming in your panel breakers also go bad especially with a consistent heavy load like your pot lights. When there bud how about sharing LOL
