Hi

Ive bought 3 diecast 12v lamp fittings with 3 35x bulbs giving a total of 105w. I have a junction box and a suitable transformer. I have two cables sticking out of the ceiling where the 240v lamp was - I know which is the supply cable and which is the switch cable. I have 1.5mm sq twin core and earth.

Im I right in thinking that the transformer gets wired into the supply cable then into the junction box and the lamps are wired in loop-in style to the junction box? Im after a bit of advice.

Also do all the earths get wired outside the jct box into a chocolate box connector?

Thanks

No! Your junction box is on the mains side. The switched feed goes into the transformer.

No again, if you will use 4 connections JB you will have enough room for the earth (do not forget to insulate the earth wires).
Make sure that all earth wires are connected together, but if the fittings are double insulated do not! connect them to the earth connection in the JB.
