One further note - the new transformer could be used to power 2 x 50W
bulbs and this may be necessary as the above datasheet specifies a
max of 3 x 105VA "normal" quality transformers can be used with a
400W dimmer.


OK, so if my feeble mind is taking this in, if I *do* decide to use a
dimmer ( and frankly, I'm not fussed as we rarely used it anyway ) then
I'd need to wire two of the bulbs into the one transformer, reducing
the transformers on the "line" from 4 to 3, is that correct?

If it is, then it's too much for me, and if all I'm gaining is a dimmer
I don't often use, then not that big a deal.

Or have I totally grasped the wrong end of the stick?
( Which is the likely bet! )

In that case, just fit a standard light switch and replace each faulty
transformer with one of the new ones and it should save you any bother with
dimmers or rewiring.

(Before you connect the new transformers - take note of the comment from
"Lurch" - he has a good point about the possibility you may have connected
them the wrong way round.)
