Changing low voltage halogen spotlights to 240volt LED

[TimJ]

Hi
I have two lighting circuits of 5 x low voltage halogen with individual transformers for each lamp.. to try out the new 240volt GU10 LED's.. obviously after turning power off .. I cut out the transformer on one of the lights and connected the new lampholder to the 240v supply and GU10.. it wont work.. tried different lamps and other lamp holders.. then tried to replace one of the lights on the other circuit.. that wont work either..

is it because i have got other transformers connected to the 240v supply.. so i have to cut them all off the 240v supply before it will work.
Cant understand the problem here


any insight would really help
thanks

You must have done something wrong - there's no reason why you'd have to remove all the other transformers.

Please post photos showing the cable you removed from the transformer and its connection to the new lampholder.
