Gday
We have an xmas tree with pre wired lights and i noticed that after approx 20 minutes of being turned on all of the lights (all 3 sections) briefly turn off and then on again and continue doing this. The lights dont have blinking modes so they shouldnt do this. When I checked the transformer plugged into the gpo it was extremely hot to touch and so I have ceased turning them on.
See attached photo of the transformer.
A few queries:
I assume the transformer is stuffed and overheating is causing the lights to switch off?
Can I buy a replacement transformer online as long as I ensure I get a 31v 9watt?
its a two wire system, does this mean if I buy a blinking controller thats built into the transformer all modes wont work due to lack of a third wire? I have thought about buying a lytworks fairy light kit from bunnings and just using the transformer if its 31v 9w.
Thanks in advance!
