Replaced MR16 halogen with GU10 LED, but lights are not working now

Anonymous user 15/03/2024 - 2.30 PM

Hi, I replaced 4 MR16 halogen bulbs in my kitchen with 4 GU10 LED by replacing the MR16 fittings with GU10. I also removed the transformer and did a direct connection for new GU10 LED's. I tested the light after replacing the first fitting and the new LED lit up fine, however after I finished replacing all 4, none of these 4 are working. I am totally confused, any advise will be appreciated. Thanks, G. Kevin - Thanks for your reply.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Definitely sounds like you have got a loose wire at the first light fitting in the line. Could be a live or neutral but the thing that stands out is your ability to test you have done the job safely. I would have to recommend posting for a registered electrician to complete the job including the issue of a minor works certificate.
