I think I'm being a bit thick here....but maybe one of you guys could help me with something I am obviously not getting...!
I have a room with 3x12v low voltage spotlights (20w each)
They were running off one transformer with a special LV dimmer switch.
When the dimmer is used, 80% of it works well, but there are "spots" on the dimming range that cause the spots to flicker slightly.
I thought maybe the transformer was the problem, so I bought two more transformers and re-wired one transformer for each spotlight.
This had no effect, and in fact now, when the dimmer is turned up to "full on" - the lights go off - almost as if the surge/protection circuit has killed the current.
The transformers state they are of the dimming variety, and as I said, the dimmer switch is a special circuit based dimmer switch specially for "lv" lighting.
I'm a bit stumped...!!
Any ideas?
My next thought was maybe 20w was too low but before I go out and buy 3x 50x spots to terst a theory I thought I would pick your brains...!!
Many thanks for the help!
