No - the bulbs are 50W, not 50V. But that connector was in the 230V supply, so about 0.2A.
Probably easier for you to decide if that is the case, than us.could one of these be a loose connection?
You have made it rather difficult by using that ridiculous tiny box - looks like it was removed from one of those cheap-o-matic light fittings from a DIY shed.which were difficult to securely fasten in,

Something like this: https://www.toolstation.com/shop/p49007 will be much easier, and will also allow the cables to be fitted properly - the idea being that the grey outer covering is all that's visible outside of the box, the individual coloured cores are fully inside the enclosure.
As for the light - other than loose connections, other things include the transformer failing, the lamp broken, or the lampholder being overheated and worn out.
Your right what you say, but sometimes 12 volt downlights or G5.3 lampholders are marked 50V (6A)No - the bulbs are 50W, not 50V. But that connector was in the 230V supply, so about 0.2A.
Totally agree. First time I encountered lamps marked 50V 4.3A I wondered why any one would need 1.7KW of lights in their dining room and I thought I'd found the reason the 5A MCB kept tripping.Your right what you say, but sometimes 12 volt downlights or G5.3 lampholders are marked 50V (6A)
That's a lamp holder. You'd expect that to be marked with the maximum voltage and current it is rated for, but those markings are no more use for determining what the operating voltage of an installed one is than the speed rating on a tyre is for telling you how fast the car it's fitted to will go. The U0 rating of 6242Y cable does not mean that you have a 300V single-phase supply to your house.Your right what you say, but sometimes 12 volt downlights or G5.3 lampholders are marked 50V (6A)
These for example are rated 25V 5A
