Hey Guys,
Having a few problems with voltage drop in my lounge, I don't have a particularly big lounge, I have 8 x 30W downlighters in there and a few are noticeably dimmer than the rest, I have ruled out old or knackered lamps by replacing them all with the same batch.
It appears that there are 2 paralleled runs of 4 downlighters connected to a Halolite HA-S300 - 300W transformer. The cable is 1mm conductor 2 core I think.
I could do with getting up there to have a better look, is this the best way to wire them ? Is there a way to overcome this voltage drop? I've seen things wired up in a radial way, with each cable from transformer to 12V fixture being the same length, would this be a better way for me ?
Cheers
