Default fitting spotlights in bathroom

Hi all, I have just purchsed a set of spotlights for the bathroom, i
took the existing ones out and replaced the lights but the old ones had
transformers, the new set do not need transformers, so how do i link the
wires from the mains, the switch and the bulbs??? please help?


If the new spots are halogen, take them back and get 12v ones. It'll
be less work, less cost, and 12v ones are more efficient and long
lived.

If theyre CFL or filament, you'll need to find the other end of the
cables where the transformer is, and remove the tf and wire the cable
to the mains. This is assuming its mains cable - in the unlikely event
it isnt you'd need new cable too.

Theres more on halogen spotlights he
