RE: Re: X10 dimmable Transformers for LV halogens

["Nick Broughton" <mail@xxxxxxx>]

Hell!  10mm cable for 200w over 4m.  I'm planning on putting the lamps in
the kitchen.  It's about 3m from one end to the other and I thought I'd put
the transformers in the airing cupboard - it's basically across the landing
>from

Do I _need_ to put the transformers in the ceiling void to get the cable
size down.  Is that calculator relevant to all transformers or just the
ones
that tlc supply.

There's also a warning about voltage drop/colour temperature on the
calculator page if more than one lamp is used on a single transformer.  I
was planning on putting up to 4 lamps per transformer.  Do I need to worry
about this?  One of the reasons I've decided on LV Halogens is the colour
temperature.

I've just installed six of TLCs Premium 12V electronic transformers
with LD11s and it's working just fine.  There is a light buzzing
sound from the transformers so you may want to mount them slightly
away from the room, I've got mine inside a wall partition.  Be aware
of maximum cable runs between transformer and light fittings though,
there's a calculator on the TLC site.  See here for more info:
