Hi..I am currently making a funky light fitting using pyro cable..I have a 300watt dimmable low voltage teroidal tranformer..ffrom this runs a 2m length if 1mm pvc flex which feeds a connection box..from connection box I have 12 lengths of pyro..each length has a 20watt lv lamp..my problem is..the pvc flex is getting way to hot!!!! Do I need to run more cables?? Any help would be great :))
 
Assuming this is:
a) a serious question
b) secondary winding of transformer is 12v
c) Ive understood your question

Option A
Remove from supply and abort project.
Option B
Research ohms law, research methods for cable selection and proceed with extreme caution!!!!!
 
Well without looking any further than what you've told us in your OP, you're looking at around 20A at 12V running through that 1mm flex!! lol!!
