I’m sorry i lost the thread yesterday. You did indeed , your bang on with the wattage she has been replacing lamps with 20w instead 10w, seeing there are 12 of them it takes it well over the va range. I was looking too deep, it may be simply a case of replacing lamps. I looked into a little then called the client only to be told she’s sticking in 20 w lamps.
Thanking you for your help , if I can’t return the tranny then she can pay for it as a lesson learned.
Regards

Hello,
That is 3 times today customers have called and used incorrect bulbs. We get customers who call daily, identical issue.
It is so common.
Remove the bulbs and see if the safety cut out resets. If not, it may have damaged the unit, but on occasions some people are lucky.
Maximum on the 150w is 15 bulbs at 10w. If the customer wants to use 20w bulbs then a transformer of at least 300w will be needed, but you will need to check the wiring is capable of double loading.

I realised she had a mix.
I will try what you suggested.
