Hi folks
I am having a problem with my IKEA transformer. The lights will not stay on, they just blink on and off completely (not flicker) on for half a second and off for half a second, and the transformer buzzes.
I purchased an Ansulta transformer from IKEA for wardrobe lights. It is a 30w transformer. 210-240 V
I then purchased 6 lights:
- 3 OMLOPP (5.3 watts each)
- 3 Lindshult (2 watts each)
According to Ikea all these lights should work with their transformer. The transformer can take 10 lights and based on the individual wattage they should be fine.
One issue may be that the Ansluta transformer works off a plug, but I cut the plug off and wired it up to a 2 gang switch. (IKEA themselves said this would be ok to do) We have done this a few times before with Kitchen under-cabinet lights and had no problems. Each time the electrics have been certified as safe.
I think it is a faulty transformer, but wanted to see if anyone else has had similar problems? Any advice would be appreciated
Cheers
