Hello all
I have a problem with some spotlights in a room at home
When I switch on the lights, the lights may or not come on
If the light switch is left in the on position the spotlights will sometimes come on and go off again with no help from me
Im thinking it may be the transformer, If it is, How can I check and If I have to buy a new one, how do I know which one to get as it was probably supplied with the lights
Can this be dangerous?
This is a new house of mine and these lights were not fitted by me
Any help will be good with this
Thanks
Julian |

are they individual spot lights banked off a transformer?
is there more than one transformer?
is it a track light fitting with spot lights on?
is the transformer accessible?
can you test the output of the switch?
we need more information m8. |

Do you have a dimmer switch?
If so take it out of circuit. |
