My under-cabinet LEDs in the kitchen are out due to a dead
transformer, or "driver" as they call it. It's an Ohmtronic that
lasted 4 years, which seems on the short side to me. Prising off the
plastic cover revealed a patch of soot where something had burned out.

Any recommendations on brands to get or avoid? If you've had one
working for more than a few years and know what type it is, please let
me know.

Thanks.

Is the burn on the mains side or the lamp side. Is it supplying dc or ac
and is it a large transformer or one of those dinky little switch mode ones?

Pass.

I didn't find much choice in 75W models so I've ordered the only one I
could find that looks equivalent, brand "Sebson".
