About PLT BSET150 150 Watt Step Down Transformer
Overall Feedback:
77% positive
75% liked the compatibility with various lighting systems, but 25% experienced some limitations
I replaced a transformer on a halogen track light with a 140W total load, but it did not light up brightly. The transformer seemed underpowered.
I tested the transformer with a multimeter after it failed to power a 50 watt, 12 volt halogen MR type bulb. I also tested the same bulb with a 12 volt, 1 amp wall wart transformer.
Rephrased:
After the 50 watt, 12 volt halogen MR type bulb failed to power, I tested the transformer with a multimeter. Additionally, I tested the same bulb with a 12 volt, 1 amp wall wart transformer.
76% appreciated its performance in harsh environments, but 24% experienced some limitations
I found that the issue was due to a poor connection with the track. After cleaning it and reattaching the power assembly, it worked.
After 2-3 months of use, the transformer failed, indicating that it is not durable in harsh environments.
75% liked the easy installation process, while 25% found it complex
With some minor changes, it fits fine for my application. The wires are too short and the holes are not quite lined up with the existing housing.
71% praised for its quiet operation, but 29% noticed a slight humming noise
My wife asked me if the lights were on a dimmer now, indicating that the noise level of the lighting-low-voltage-transformer is low.
Within 2 weeks of installation, the light started pulsating between bright and dim and making a buzzing noise.
67% praised for its energy-efficient design, while 33% noticed a slight energy loss
After 2 or 3 months, the transformer failed indicating poor power efficiency.
I tried to power a 50 watt, 12 volt halogen MR type bulb with the transformer, but it refused to power up. I even checked it with a multimeter and tried to power it with a 12 volt, 1 amp wall wart transformer.
I noticed that the transformer output is low.
I replaced the transformer on a halogen track light with a 140W total load, but it seemed underpowered as it did not light up brightly.
75% found it to be highly reliable, but 25% experienced occasional issues
I noticed that the output of the transformer seems to be low. My wife asked me if the lights were on a dimmer now. I expect the voltage to be less than 12V on the output when I measure it.

70% appreciated the built-in safety features, although 30% found some limitations
I replaced the hot halogen lights with LED bulbs and no longer worry about the transformer blowing out.
After two months, the unit failed completely and I have to replace the entire unit as I can no longer find appropriate step down transformers for it.
After 2-3 months, the transformer failed, indicating that its safety features are inadequate.
69% appreciated its stable voltage output, although 31% noticed occasional fluctuations
The output voltage is less than 12V and the lights are dimmer now.
The transformer specs seemed to match the current transformer spec, but it still wasn't delivering the right voltage/amperage.
I checked with a multimeter and found that the transformer is not powering up the light fixture.
