The old coil transformer for my kitchen ceiling downlights finally went kaput.
It was rated 200w, and supplied 4 x 50 W 12v downlights.
I took it out, and swapped in a halolite 200w electronic transformer from screwfix.
This works fine when 'warmed up'. But from cold it's been taking 15s for the lights to actually come on. I'm guessing this is more than 'soft start'.
I've exchanged for another one, with same results. (I'm not ruling out 2 faults transformers -- the one I got in exchange was clearly a return)
Any thoughts?
