I want to wire up a couple of pc fans and led light strip inside my keezer. I've got a flooded font and the lid on the keezer is glass. So I thought it would be a good idea to wire the leds to the pump switch this way I'll be less likely to leave the pump on.
So I mounted the pc fans and the led strip. This was left over from another project so I had to solder new wires on it. After that I've tested both with a car battery and all good.
Next step I wanted to put the transformers in an old T box with my STC that controls the freezer.
I've wired a 240v feed through two switches where they power the 240v pump and the 12v leds through a transformer on one and the pc fans through another transformer on the other switch.
I used the little electronic transformers that you use for 12v downlights.
Once I'm done I turn it on and it doesn't work. I tested the transformers with a downlight and they seem to be okay.
On closer inspection the leds are on but only a couple close to the input wires and these are only dull and flickering a bit.
So what gives? This really has me stumped.
Cheers.
