Yip believe it or not there are still house with 12 v 50 watt downlights.
I am busy with a COC inspection and came across a roof space which has a row of 12 volt transformers.
I know from past experience one of the inspectors informed me that the wire feeding the transformer was regarded as open wiring. What i have down in this case...built a wooden box with a removable stainless steel gauze cover...all the connections are inside the box.
so my question...what do you do if you come across an installation with 12 transformers.
Do you use a 5 amp plug and run a short wire to the transformer exposed on the beam?
Do you use a 3 way box and jut connect the wire directly to the terminals of the transformer left exposed on the the beams?
Do you enclose each transformer in a box?
Even the 230 volt downlights are a pain in the butt...so many people use the 2 wire lamp holders which have no earth facility and even the ones who do...people dont bother to clip it to the down light.
