Right, This is the old transformer from our downlighter.....



OK So i need a new one.....

This 1 on ebay

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EAGLERISE-SET210CS-ELECTRONIC-TRANSFORMER-NEW-FREE-P-P-/390407807712?pt=UK_Light_Fittings&hash=item5ae61e62e0#ht_2998wt_1037

Notice the diagram on the right hand side for SEC. It is a single pole thingie.

If I buy the ebay one......will it work if I connect the 4 wires on the right hand side to the new one?

A halogen bulb requires 12v and that's it, can't see why it wouldn't work.

Forgot to mention- it has about 12 bulbs coming off it...all 12V halogen of course

Just the bridging method is putting me off a little

That's a bit over the 210W rating of the transformer then is it not?

I could be totally wrong, will have to look......more like 15w rings a bell to be honest
