anyone know where I can get a single downlighter, ones with their own transformer ?
I was looking in B&Q and they have only big single downlighters and any of the sets they have, the wire is too short i.e. the downlighters would all have to go really close together and I wanted to get them more spaced out.
Go to an electrical wholesaler, bigger range, better brand, cheaper price, but don;t expect the guys working there to give you the time of day, never mind any advice!
I have downlighters, complete with transformers, on a dimmer switch. The lights with their own transformers are low voltage and the bulbs do not blow as often.
Michael Garry in Bolton Street opposite the collage has a great range of these fittings and is very helpful.
A word of caution if you cut a hole in your ceiling to fit these downlighters ( I'm thinking of the 12 volt type recessed with a transformer ) you are removing the fire protection offered by the plaster board ceilng .
