Hi everyone,
i've got this problem. 4 downlights 12v on 1 switch. 2 of them only, go out and come back on every now and again. I thought it was just dodgy connections in the jb and so i redid them on the 2 downlights that are faulty. I turned the lights back on and they came on as normal. Left them on for a couple of minutes and the same thing keeps happening. also sometimes when i switch them off then on again the faulty lights come back on again.
The sparky who installed them used 2 core flex as the switch line for some reason and not twin and earth. So theres no earth in the run either.
If anyone has had any experience with these problems then please let me know how you sorted it out.
Much appreciated.
p.s. One of the transformers has a brown mark the size of a 2 pound coin on its side which looks like burning.
