Comments on: I just installed halo recessed lighting and after a bit they go off??? http://www.bathroomsconce.com/i-just-installed-halo-recessed-lighting-and-after-a-bit-they-go-off.html Enjoy our wide selection of bathroom lighting fixtures Thu, 09 Feb 2012 00:10:01 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: RedRose http://www.bathroomsconce.com/i-just-installed-halo-recessed-lighting-and-after-a-bit-they-go-off.html/comment-page-1#comment-6657 RedRose Sun, 31 Jan 2010 16:29:24 +0000 http://www.bathroomsconce.com/i-just-installed-halo-recessed-lighting-and-after-a-bit-they-go-off.html#comment-6657 Take out two bulbs and run them for a while to see if the transformer load is too great. Take the light fixtures out of the ceiling to see if they work OK in "free air" to trouble shoot if they are overheating, or blow air on them as an experiment if you cannot take them out. Also make sure the transformer is not in a hot place. Take out two bulbs and run them for a while to see if the transformer load is too great.

The insulation is either too close to the fixtures, or the ceiling joists are too short in height to allow air flow around the fixtures. To prevent over heating and / or a fire, they will shut down until the temperature reaches their safety level again. Yes.

Your transformer is over loaded and you need to buy a larger one to cope with running 4 lights. The other is roof space. The transformer gives of a lot of heat and if your transformer is in a confined area it will overheat, or even a really hot day heating the inside of your roof space can do that. I had that problem I my walk in wardrobe, so I got rid of the transformer and changed it over to 240v mains voltage, then used 50w Halogen lamps. They still look the same as low voltage lamps but they don't use transformers. below is a site that shows you what they look like. http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?id=20085 regards Hi,
