Evening OcUK,
An LED lighting strip in my bathroom has recently stopped working. It's made of three cylindrical sections with LEDs within them, and these sections click into one another with a male end and female end. At the female end of one of these is a plugged-in cable. I have plugged each of these three individual sections into this cable, and none works, which to me suggests the issue likely lies with the supply to the cable?
However, the cable has been grouted and tiled in...so I headed into the loft and found the transformer that's connected to said cable, which is fed from a lighting chocbox thus:
Might I be able to leave the cable in the bathroom in place, cut the existing transformer out by cutting the cable from the transformer to the LEDs and disconnecting from the chocbox, buy a replacement transformer and transplant it in place by reconnecting the cut and disconnected wires?
