Took middle lad (who is my apprentice now I can no longer climb ladders) to look at one of Mum's recessed downlights that wasn't working.
Last time we came, he swapped a lamp, but that didn't work, so this time, I brought a new lamp holder. That didn't work either. We ran out of time, but I suspect the old steel-boxed toroidal transformer is goosed or maybe the output fuse blew.
There's a row of four and I'm thinking let's get shot and convert these fittings to LV and use LED GU10s.
I took a piccy of the fitting from below but forgot to get a piccy of the business side. These fittings, IIRC, are Thorn and have a terminal block attached to the body of the fitting. The lamp slots into a cradle.
The idea I have is to use something like that in the link below. I want to make sure to use a double insulated item.
Can I trouble you for your suggestions please?
