Hi All,
New to the forum but thought it looked like a friendly place to ask about a lighting issue I have. I'm by no means an electrician but know my way around well enough to not shock myself through stupidity. Anyway, I live in a new build apartment complex and in the kitchen there are two energy saving recessed lighting units. All of a sudden, one of them won't work, the other is fine. When I turn the light switch on, the 'faulty' one attempts to light up for 30 seconds then just turns off. Since living here of 3 years, they've never had shown any sign of this issue. Before you ask, I have already tried changing the bulb haha!
When I've remove the light fitting, it's connected to a transformer. I can't remove the other light fitting to see what the setup is to compare but presumably if there would only be one transformer and it that goes, both lights would be faulty?
I'll post a series of pictures and I'm not good with my lighting tech lingo so maybe someone could advice what the next best course of action I could try? Ideally I want to get rid of both lights as the bulb are expensive and hard to change, plus even though the energy lighting saves me money, they takes ages to warm up. Not ideal in the kitchen. Will this setup be difficult to change?
That aside, why is it not working do you think??
Thanks in advance,
Mark
