I have two sets of 3 low voltage halogen spots that run off their own transformers to fit in the lounge.When I tried to connect both sets they are dull. how do I connect them both so that they are bright and work off the one switch? Do I just have to spur seperately and incorporate the switch?

you wired them in series,
for example
assume each transformer has one brown and one blue wire for the mains side, the mains incoming is red and black
you did
redbrown bluebrownblue black
you should do this
redbrown brown blue blue black
so you have both browns connected to the red, and both blues connected to the black
this is called wiring in parallel
