    why not those trafos should be banned they over heat constantly and sometimes are red hot to touch

    Low quality or poorly installed equipment can be dangerous, yes.

    Downlighters with 12V dichroic lamps, transformers etc. when installed properly (inline with ET:101) are 100% safe. This has been proved countless times across the country for over 20 years.

    Unfortunately some badly installed or poor quality equipment has caused fires, but this applies to many more components than downlighter transformers, such as distribution boards, cooker switches etc.
    Banning types of components is not the solution, enforcing standards is.

    Don't mention the traffos vs GU10 fly leads thing here, some do be very defensive about quality of light and the like and then you'll be directed to read a LED thread for some reason. :rolleyes:


    The decision to discuss LED lighting in a sticky was made by the moderator of this forum, not me.

    That would be me, everyone should go directly there and read it, but don't post any negative comments.
