Can you easily remove the transformer? You should be able to pick up if the answer is yes. What wattage are the bulbs?
If you take it to the nearest electrical wholesaler they should be able to supply a replacement - prbably not the same make.

Thanks for replying.
Just managed to remove transformer, was difficult to get to nut holding it in place.
They are 20w bulbs.
Am going to walk to local electric shop but is probably shut now.
Look on internet and one site wanted £51:99.
Seemed a bit steep to me.

Beware, the transformer might not 'show' 12v unless the lamp is plugged in. I'm guessing you've got some kind of multi-meter? Hopefully you can use this to check continuity on the lamp. Check where the lamp terminates too.
Edit: I'm 90% sure that your 12v G4 will use the same transformer as a 12v MR16 lamp, of which millions are in peoples ceilings around the country. Even the lamp terminals are the same. If so you can get what you need for less than a tenner.

Shop was shut
Now I have the transformer out can I test it some how ?
Can I not connect to mains and just check if 12v on output ?
or
does it require a load ?
If so can I not just connect one bulb ?
I have a multi meter.

It'll require a load in order to test and yes you can connect it to the mains to test but first check if the input is 230v. All the trannys I've seen have details on the housing. Have you made sure the lamps themselves are ok? Are the termination points clean/free of grease etc?
eSpares do a "genuine" Baumatic spare part
http://www.espares.co.uk/part/cooke.../1387393/1386497/cooker-hood-transformer.html
Their list price is £89.99
But it is not a Baumatic part. It is a standard 60VA transformer that you can pick up anywhere for about £6.
Check it really is the tranny that has gone, then go buy a £6 one!
One of these will be fine

Just check, the thread is titled BT81.1GL
But your post says BT82.1GL
I expect they are the same tranny though - as staed above the rating will be written on it.

Still not fixed tranformer.
Was wondering if I could use this one.

Sure,
That's plenty big enough.

We've got a Baumatic hood (virtually the same just flat glass) and both bulbs 'failed' on it a while back.
Turned out to be the glass fuse in the bulb unit. It fits in length ways with a plastic cap over the top. The fuse hadn't actually gone it just seemed to have moved and thus stopped the unit working. I guess the vibration did it over a prolonged period of time.

I've tried to find the fuse but can't. Are you able to tell me were I can find it?
