Hi folks,
We've currently got 5x MR16s in the bathroom that I've had trouble with, firstly the transformer went so I replaced it, then about a month later the lights were flickering a lot and then stopped working altogether, I went into the loft today and the new transformer has gone/melted where the output wires are(!) (5x20W with a 105V transformer from memory)
The wiring from the transformer to the fittings are a bit of a hash job (not my handywork) so I want to replace the lot with GU10 fittings so I can pop LED bulbs in.
I've been Googling but I'm not clear on a few things, firstly I'll need one fitting that is directly above the shower so it'll need to be IPxx (?) the other 4 should be ok with IP20s (?)
Can someone clear up exactly what is needed, I have the mains input, so what comes from that? I believe they need wired in series(edit I meant parallel!) but when buying GU10 fittings there are no connecting wires so what do I need to buy for that?
It might be best if I get an electrician in so does anyone have an idea of what I could expect to pay for this?
Thanks!
Rob
