[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 459217, member: 250"] The 105watt supply would work with 5x20 lamps (100w) BUT....... it is possible that if the lamps are a cheapish quality when they blow, it could damage the transformer. I would look for at least 120w or maybe 150w to give a bit more robustness for when the lamps pop! But Obviously you do have the physical limitations of getting it inside the fitting as well. I did do a repair on a 4 lamp fitting, but was able to split the internal lamp wiring between 2x60 transformers each working 2 lamps. and 2x smaller trannies fitted better than on bigger one. :popcorn [/QUOTE]
