problem with downlighters

[bcoleman]

Hi,

I've got a set of halogen downlighters under my kitchen cupboards and they've recently started playing up.

Basically, there are 2 switches to turn them on - 1 to the transformer and a smaller one on casing of one of the lights - and to get the lights working now I have to physically hold the smaller switch on as it turns off again whenever I let go.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ben

the switch on the light is faulty, why not do away with the switch on the actuall light?

if you remove the switch and disconnect it you can put the two cbles into a connector block peice and then control the lights from the other switch.

ban has a point - light from spotlights is no good for working under. Those T4/5 strips are perfect.
