Hello Everyone, and thanks in advance i hope.
I have just brought a set of 4 halogen downlights with the complete kit and i want to install them, however they are confusing me and thats why im here asking for abit of help. On the packaging it says 2 things that i don't understand fully.
No transformer required.
Connects directly to the mains supply without the need for a transformer.
Now i thought the instructions would help me out with this but they are complete bull....just pictures and things not to do.
I want to install these lights in my garage and my original thought when it said "Connects directly to the mains supply without the need for a transformer" was to connect them from the closest light in the house and wire them up that way.
But it confesses me when it says mains because ive always thought of the mains as the plug sockets and ring mains in the house, not a lighting circuit, which doesn't really matter because i have an existing ring main in the garage but i wouldn't know how to wire/connect them up this way.
Anyways thanks in advance guys, im going to talk to an electrician friend tomorrow about it and hope that he can clear it up for me but in the mean time you people could be my saviour =D
