    Fitting a Dimmable Transformer, WIRING help?

    well wired up the transformer and lights still not working! Cant see anything else wrong. Its baffling. Checked switch / spur, everything tight. No melted wires. All bulbs look fine. Just want it to work!! I'll try swapping round the white wires the other way and see what happens.
