Hi all
I want to install 7 20W downlights with a dimmer but the light fixtures in my house only have 2 wires (black and red) with no earth wire. Does this mean I can ONLY use low voltage downlights with a 150W transformer or can mains downlights be used? Could it be that I have a combined earth and neutral wire?
Also if a main downlight is rated at 50W does this mean it can only accept
50W bulbs? If I wanted to put in say a 35W bulb into a 50W main downlight is this possible?
one more question if you please - whats the easiest and safest way to connect all the downlights to a transfomer / main circuit. Should I get junction boxes or daisy chain. and would a 1.5mm2 cable be enough?
Thank you
