Hi there:
I recently installed a brand new ceiling halogen lamp (3 x 50W bulbs) in my house. This lamp has a (110V - 12V I guess) transformator. Why is there a 3 second delay from the moment I push the ON button until the lamps actually go on? I have other halogen lamps in the house (these work with 110V - no transformator) and here there is no delay whatsoever.
Is this delay normal? If not what could be the problem?
Thanks for your help. :D
