Hello Forum,

Today, I installed 4 x 60cm (24 inches) downlights in our kitchen.
They were easy to install, with a lot of wiring, but overall I’m satisfied!
The transformer has 6 terminals, which I used one after another.
Lamps 1, 2, and 3 all worked perfectly – but after connecting lamp 4, the system started to flicker!

Can anyone explain this?
Any advice?
Any tips?

If I remove lamp 4 again, the other three stay lit steadily.

Thanks for your help.

Good luck, Achim.

Hello,
a light fixture has a power consumption of 7.7 W. The transformer is only rated for a total of 20 W.

I couldn’t find this value anywhere, thank you.
By now, I also saw (in an Ikea PDF) that there is a more powerful transformer available.
I guess I’ll have to go back...

Thanks and best regards, Achim.

Three Omlopp lamps should still work with a 20W transformer and three 7.7-watt lamps, right?
3.1 watts is not a big deal.

I currently have three lamps planned and would prefer not to buy the wrong transformer right away.

Yes, all three work perfectly for me!

The more electronic components are operated at their maximum load, the faster they fail.
