LV Low Voltage Wire Track Light System On A Dimmer???

[Steve 82]

Hi guys,

I've got a bit of a dilemma. Yesterday I went to a customers house and changed all of the properties grid switches to mk.

Now the problem is, the guy has low voltage track wire light fittings in every room, and he has brought mk dimmer grid switches to control these.

I connected one and the transformer started buzzing really loud, which i expected as i'm guessing its a mechanical transformer.

So basically I think i need to get an electronic transformer (dimmable) for each fitting which would obviously be compatible with the fittings, and fit in the old round casing thats connected to the tracks????

I would be grateful for any advice.

I have a picture of the old tranny here

Cheers

or maybe this system is just not dimmable????

The 6th one down would have all your characteristics and for 30 notes worth a punt to see if it gets him out of trouble

yes i think this could possibly work, if it fits into the existing surface round base??

would it be pretty straight forward to wire the existing track cable into this??

I always use the Auora ones and they are fine.
