Hi,
I have an odd problem with Led lighting and would appreciate if anyone had a theory on what i am doing wrong (nearly said can someone shed any light on this!).
I have 6 off 12v MR16 7W LED lights wired in a pelmet with a maximum cable run of approximately 6 feet using 1.0mm T+E. The transformer is a 1-10v dimmable led driver rated
at 12v 5 amps i.e 60W.
When i switch the transformer on only 3 bulbs light.
If i remove a single light bulb (any one) all 5 light and it works fine.
When initially powered up the current draw with all lights is 5.14 amps (too much)
If i remove one lamp 5 light up at the expected 3.14 amps and if i then reconnect the 6th lamp
they all work and the current increases to the expected 3.8 amps. However as soon as i switch
the transformer of either by shorting the 1-10v input or at the mains then the problem returns and its again drawing over 5 amps.
Any info appreciated.
Thanks.
