I have a Paulmann low voltage lighting system that has stopped working I have checked all the wiring and dont appear to have any loose connections so I am assuming it could be the transformer thats the problem.
Why are my low voltage lights not working. One major benefit is a reduction in light dimming and premature bulb burnout. How to Know What Causes Lights to Not Work. There are 5 of them at 20W each.
The devices are 12v MR16 halogen lights not LEDs. When I connect a regular 15 or 40 volt light it will not light up. To determine the size needed add the combined wattages of the lighting that will be attached to the transformer then divide the number by 08.
Your Halogen light bulbs in your low voltage system run best from about 108 volts to 118 volts. When these low voltage lights start to overheat or run down to the point where they are not producing a good amount of light the fuse will turn off the power so that the lamps will be safe. Each light head or compatible light fixture attached to the track light has a bulb size type and watt limitation.
How do you do that. I added a two pin plug to the circuit. This weekend I took a shot at temporarily trying a 50W lamp in the last fixture in an effort to follow user25261s advice but that made no difference at all as I suspected since.
Installing higher watt bulbs is not recommended. If your voltage is above 12 you will be replacing the bulbs often. Many people believe LED bulbs dont fail.
Move affected cable to the next higher voltage tap or reduce load on cable. But while theyre longer-lasting than older bulbs they can still sometimes work improperly. Unstable the lamp will flash and so on.
