Hi,
Just bought a set of 5 x 50W mains voltage halogen downlighters. Each unit has only a live and neutral connection at the base. The “instructions” that came with the set simply say “the units can be wired in series”. These lights are going to replace recessed ES light fittings (non-halogen). What is the best way to install the new lights? The existing switch was hopefully going to control all 5 lights. What I was thinking is this: take the feed from one of the existing lights, take away ES fitting and replace with a 3-terminal junction box in void. Then, put in a junction box above each new halogen fitting, supplying the light and the next fitting. Does this make sense? Am I on totally the wrong track? Any suggestions would be great.
Cheers.
