Hall light is less than 6 months old and is on original set of bulbs. I typically use B&Q value 40w for outside - do you recommend something different? Is 40v not unusual for an induced voltage? Thanks for the feedback so far.

Using a good quality volt meter (£30). Would the induced voltage be the reason for killing the transformer and the outside light regularly? Whilst it is only 40v I presume this means the kit is always slight under load and therefore shortens its life. Thanks for the quick reply by the...

I was hoping someone could provide some advice. My downstairs hall light will not switch on. It is a halogen (10x 10w) light from Ikea. It has a 105VA transformer stepping down from 240 to 12V AC. The input to the transformer (measured with digi multimeter) is 240v when light switch is on...
