halogen bulbs in kitchen ceiling keep going of then on again a while later

[PaulRea]

I have 9 x halogen lights in kitchen ceiling 3 in each transformer wired into the main ring. the centre set come on then go off, then come back on again a while later, repeating this process. is it the bulbs or is the transformer on its way out ?

I would say transformer on the way out.... it’s overheating, cutting off, and then resetting when it cools down.


maybe think about this as an opera unity to have all the lamps changed to 230v GU10 LED ones? They should fit in the existing fitting, and will be less hot and save some electricity.

Sounds like the transformer is failing. As above, ideal time to swap for LED.
