Pendant lights with Novitronix 9801AR trasnsformers. Nine out of eleven have gone bad and I'm looking for a better transformer
You can use the following transformer as a replacement-
Had the same problem- customer service at home despit was underwhelming
as usual, they said that each manufacturer blamed the other, and to return it, they would not just replace the transformer. Typical of HD-you are pretty much on your own-lucky im an electrical engineer!-hope this helps
I have the same issue and will order the transformer you recommed. Any idea if it makes a difference which output wires hook to white and silver wires on the light fixture? The old Novitronix has two red output wires. Nothing to distinguish the two. The unit you recommend is similar (the wires are blue). When hooking this up does it make no difrfrerence wich of these hooks to the wires in the fixture?
This unit is more than a transformer. Inside is a circuit board with a toroid transformer and bunch of electronic components. Part of it seems to be overtemp protection. If I did not know any better I would say that there is a rectifier and a DC voltage regulator. But the the text on the cover seems to indicate the output being 12 AC. Anyone has any idea how to get the schematic of this thing?

I have replaced 18 so far, absolute **** from Homedepot. Called Europhase and they said they are having some problems with the Novitronix 9801ar transformers . Europhase sent me new replacement transformers, Europhase Model 0082. These new transformers are heavier yet smaller than the Novitronix. Have yet to see how long these last.
How do you fix the light?
One of the problems may be with your light switch. For this type of light which uses a 12V transformer, you need a magnetic low voltage switch. Hope this helps.
