I am replacing my bathroom light with 4 off low voltage spots (IP44).
I have a 210W transformer that has 2 wires on the output, so I will need to add some distribution terminals to the 4 lamps.
Is it preferable to add a fuse on each lamps supply or can I just connect them directly?
 
Need to know more about your transformer. Is it toroidal?

Electronic?
 
if it is an "off the shelf" 210 w transformer you will probably find it has its own built in over load cut out what does the transformer say
 
It's a Screwfix 210W transformer that has short circuit and overload protection.

I can get a supply of Weidmuller term blocks, both fused or straight feedthrough so just wondered if adding a fuse would give any advantages.
 
not really, it just means if a lamp short circuits (as it blows) you will have to get the transformer out to change a fuse
