Still struggling with deciding how to update the ceiling lighting.


If I go for low volt downlighters, is it normal for each downlight
unit to have its own separate transformer?


If so I presume normal 1.0 or 1.5 mm2 cable can be daisy chained to
each outlet? *& that then gives the flexibility to allow switching
between LV & HV units later?


Or am I misunderstanding something?


Any experiences of fitting & cabling downlighters would be much
appreciated.


TIA


4x the number of transformers means 4x the failure rate

Not a satistician , but sure there someat wrong with that.


Its simple statistics. Same failure rate for each one, 4 times the
failures per given time, equals 4x the failure rate.
