Discuss 12v downlights - help required in the Electricians' Talk | All Countries area at ElectriciansForums.net

The only cabling that's affected is the cabling n this circuit which is new blue and brown cable so not that old at all. The rest f the house wiring is fine, old colours but not reasonably modern and not that old fabric covered or rubber covered stuff.

The main parts burnt are the t&e at one side of a connection and the flex to the transformer on the other although there is a random bit of melting in the flex between the transfrmer and the light.

Is there any reason why I can't use 240v downlights? Got B&Q vouchers which I figure I can use for the replacement lights but their selction of 12v downlights is limited.

Also, for the shower light I thought that they HAD t be 12v for zone 1 but B&Q only sell one type and it's 240v suitable for zones 1 2 and 3.

Cheers

Don
