Hi
My kitchen has eight 12v GX5.3 50W down lights, two of which have recently stopped working.
Having removed one fitting I discovered that one of the wires on the connector block for the bulb had burnt off. I disconnected the two black wires from the black connector blocks and took out the fittings completely. There doesn't appear to be a transformer.
I have 2 black wires disappearing into the roof space and into hardened injected foam (there is a concrete floored garage above the kitchen) and no sign of a transformer anywhere.
Are all eight down lights running from one transformer somewhere else? If only two of the lights have stopped working does that mean that it's not the transformer which is faulty but the fittings themselves?
Before I buy replacement fittings I wanted to be sure I am not wasting my time. Do I need to be searching for the transformer or will replacing just the fitting solve the problem?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Regards
Bob
