  • Replacing some very old halogen transformer spotlights with newer ones that can take LED bulbs. It’s a timely job too as a few of the transformers look like they’ve melted.
    I’m stuck now though because the old wires that ran into the transformer are both brown wires - no way to tell if one is live and one is neutral (which seems to be required by the new fixture). Is there anyway to tell which is which so I can fit the new one?

  • Neutral to earth measured with a multimeter should be about 0V. Live to earth should be 240V. Difficult to measure safely, especially in a ceiling. Maybe temporarily put the wires into a junction block so there aren't exposed ends?
