Hi
I just wanted to confirm if the way i have wired up some new halogen lights is correct. This is because after having them on for an hour there was a slight burning smell. There are 6 lights.
I attached them from the existing ceiling rose. I used 2.5mm cable.
From the rose i connected to a 20 amp junction box. From here i had 3 more lengths of 2.5mm cable each going to another 20 amp junction box.
Each of these 3 junction boxes then had 2 cables each feeding the 50w halogen lights.
I have not yet fitted the dimmer so the lights were on full for the hour.
Is there any reason, based on the configuration above, why there would be a slight burning smell.
Thanks for any help you can give
