I have just replaced a transformer which is a heavy old type (magnetic with coils) with a small lightweight electronic transformer - http://www.screwfix.com/prods/39220...rmers/Halolite-35-105w-Electronic-Transformer . The output rating on the old transformer is 12v 105VA. The output rating on the new one is 11.4V - eff. 9.2A, 35-105W/VA.
The old transformer output went to the first of 5 20w LV lamps which were daisy-chained (in series). I have connected the output from the new transformer in the same way. Is this OK? The reason I ask is because I have used electronic transformers before and have run outputs from the transformer to each lamp in parallel. The length of cable from the transformer to the last lamp in series is about 2.5 metres.
Thanks in advance for any help.
