12v down lighters ( fault )

[tuckermot]

Hi all
Problem !!!

12 by 12v down lighters contolled by one switch,all have there own transformer.only one light is working out of the 12 lamps i only had my volt stick with me in van when i nipped round ,i dropped all lights out of ceiling and checked volts up to transformer using volt stick all showing volts on line !! ( could not prove neutral) I did not have my multi tester with me so i could not actually check for actual volts at feed of transformers and load side of transformers it seems to me unlikely that all the transformers have gone my only reason is that a neutral has popped out some where in the circuit i do not like fitting these kind of lights because of the hassle they give so i have not had much experiance with them has any one got any ideas ??

In that case I hope it is all trannys and lamp holders that have gone, Ok so find out if you have a dropped neutral at one of the non working lights if it has happy hunting the upstairs floorboards will have to come up or lots of holes in the ceiling.

Nice in theory, but not always practicable (IMHO).

Um here's a mongy post have you tested the working bulb on the non working fittings?

And checked the non working ones are actually connected within the fittings?

You probably have, but I know a lot of people are eager to whip out the tester and don't think of the blindingly obvious stuff....
