Replaced 2 europhase transformers with with same specs and can't get them to work. Verified wiring and using 50w bulb so should have plenty of draw.

Make sure there is continuity through the wires going to lamp. There is a lot of heat generated by the 50w halogen and the wires that are connected to lamp socket or the slot for the pins could be burned.

Double check your wiring to make sure they are properly tightened at the joints. It works for us.

You need a 110 volt to 12 v. DC transformer, sold separately. You "plug" the lights into the transformer (be sure to get one with the matching DC plug on one end) and plug the other 110-120 v. plug into an outlet, and they should "play." Recommend you get a higher wattage transformer than the rating for the lights. One of mine burned out less than a month after installation. Replacement has double the wattage and works fine.

I believe so, but can't answer for certain. In my case, I just replaced the old fixtures, clamping in to the existing low-wattage line, and had no reason to check out the transformer. My previous experiene with low-watt lights required a transformer. Wish I could be more difinitive for you.

My lighting designer told me that it would not work with low voltage transformers. They suggested the Lutron Diva for that purpose, which is what I am using. I used these everywhere else in my house, though, and they work well. They're a little strange to wire, especially in 3-way and 4-way applications, so you need to have the wiring instructions handy when you're installing them. We also did use these with LED bulbs, and the dimming works funky with dimmable Cree LEDs. One light fixture had two Cree dimmable LED bulbs in it, and the light would not come on when set to a dimming position, when when "turned up" it would flash one of the bulbs on, and then finally the other one. We did not experience this problem with TCP LED halogen replacements, only with Cree standard dimmable LEDs.

The lights state they are DC voltage. This transformer is is AC. They will not work.

Well, Chad. The ones i bought work Perfect, No Issues. Sounds like your problem could be a Ground Issue? I guess i would hook them up, one at a time, to a good 12volt battery. makeing sure if the problem follows the same light. then...take that light apart and look for any possible Faults?

It is worth a try--I thought the same thing but it works---just check the wiring from the old lamp to make sure they are; four wires, black white red, yellow and that the size is compatable, good luck Tom P

These are 12VDC and draw about 0.25A at full brightness. A 30W transformer should be sufficient.

Sorry to hear of your connections. I don't have an automatic answer. I would chank the alignment of the holes and see if they match the alignment of the bulb prongs. If they don't match I'd say the replacements bulb is wrong.

It should work. Just make sure that the bulbs draw at least 50 Watts combined or the transformer will not work. Maximum is 150 Watts.

I had the same problem. I replaced the fuses and still nothing. Then I had to replace the transformer. I don't know why, but the transformers are not good enough to handle the power it puts out.

Check your power connection at the camera..if it is plug in inspect the connection for rust.im talking about the male to female connection.. spin it a few times...see if it works now..and be sure..the plug to the A/C OUTLET is securely set flush and the transformer has not come out partially..this may cause intermittent power.:)

Are you using an electronic or magnetic transformer? Electronic transformers can have a minimum watt requirement before they will light the bulbs. A workaround can be adding an incandescent bulb or two to your circuit to reach this threshold. I am successfully using the old 200 Watt magnetic transformer to power seven of these LEDs without problems. I am using a transformer with a rotary motor time controller that is similar to Max Wattage 200W - Input Voltage 120V - Plastic Housing - Intermatic ML200RT

Don't know.-- Added my own meter lights and replaced an internally shorted transformer with a bigger and better one out of the junk box. Also put higher capacity pass transistors on my second unit. Yeah the fan gets growly; other than that they both work.

There is a voltage issue, sadly. You need a step-down transformer, which is what I use.

Hi Michelle...I honestly don't know. I think you may need an adapter for European lighting systems.

Pre-made connectors are not available. Also, the dimmer referenced does not appear to be compatible with this dimmable transformer.
