Just purchased a lumineux 150w low voltage transformer to upgrade from existing 60w capacity, 3 x 20w. I want to run 3 downlighters, up to 50w each off this. One end has 1 terminal block, marked L & N, I assume mains in. Other end has 2 terminal blocks with bulb symbol on outer casing, assume to lights.
Question is, are the two terminal blocks splitting the output voltage, ie 75w per terminal block. This being the case I will have to run 2 x 35w off one block and 1 x 50w off other. Or are the 2 blocks just there for convenience. Currently just have one cable out from transformer with 3 lights linked daisy chain style. I would like to repeat this method but would I be overloading using only one terminal block? :?:
thanks Randolph

thanks matey, so use one term block only.

Just thought the lights shouldn’t loop from one block back to the other, should they?
