Hello,

I have 4 spotlights, each with a transformer. This one is not working. Looking at it I am confused as to what I need to replace it with.

Thank you.

This will do the job for you Enlite Electronic Transformer 20-60VA

As will any of the other 20-60VA models listed there (I just chose that one because a) enlite are a good brand and b) it was the cheapest) if that one isn't in stock in your store.

Cue the transformer pedantry, even though the question has been answered

Interesting looking at the range, the original was 10 ~ 60W so you could use a 10W LED lamp, but there were non listed on the page with less than 20 watt/VA in fact Screwfix sell this LED lamp which states it needs a 50 Hz supply (see writing on picture), and non of the units offered to power lamps give out 50 Hz.

These transformers will work with both tungsten and LED lamps. this one would also likely work with both tungsten and LED lamps, it is not 50 Hz but it does go 0 ~ 50W not 20 ~ 60W so likely will work with LED lamps.

Why Screwfix do not sell power supplies which go from zero I don't know, at some time tungsten will likely disappear from the shelves so it would make sense to get a replacement able to work with LED lamps.
