Hi All,
I have recently fitted a ceiling light with x10 12v 10watt G4 halogen light bulbs - the light itself has a built-in transformer.
The light also has 2 switches operating it. One is a standard 2-way light switch and the other is a dimmer switch (a special dimmer switch that can deal with transformers). Both switches are 200w.
The problem is that when I switch the light on there is a faint buzzing noise coming from the dimmer and a faint buzzing noise coming from the transformer in the light itself. Then, when I turn the light off at the dimmer switch and turn it back on using the standard switch, the same faint buzzing noise can be heard from the light and and can also be heard from the standard light switch.
Is there a problem?
Many thanks - this is a great forum!
