IR Test on 12v Downlighters

[Guitarist]

i asked my question straight down the line because i didn't know the answer and for no other reason. i'm still learning. i had hoped you and telectrix could help me by sharing some of your knowledge and experience without me having to pay a consultation fee.

We are always happy to help mate, I think you know that. What we are all getting a bit fed up with on the forum (not talking about you now) are the rude idiots who come on here demanding that we tell them how to do something very simple, then when we either don't tell them what they want to hear, or we try to have some friendly banter, they get all arsey with us and have a rant about how sarcastic we all are.
I'll tell you something for nought now, a hell of a lot of these so-called electricians who have learned the trade on a test bench wouldn't last five minutes on a proper apprenticeship!
Btw, the quote you gave of me answered your question quite well I thought.

Just saying thanks to those who gave me helpful answers, plenty of useful info for the future. I swapped the 12v ones for 240v today. Will make life much easier.

Btw, wasn't expecting it to kick off on my thread, deep breaths aaaaaaaaand relax lol.

So me get this straight, you take the inspector to this installation, he then asks you to IR test this particular circuit, you then go upstairs to the main bedroom(assuming these lights are in the lounge/dinning room) move the all furniture, lift the carpet, lift the floorboards, isolate the transformers (all of them) carry out the test with him in attendance, he gives you the nod you go back upstairs and put everything back. I dont think so do you?

transformers are accessible through the ceiling holes for the downlights. no need to strip out the room above.

i thought we had given you the best solution/s. either dis ' all the trannies and teat all cables, or do the limited test with them connected.
