Can I put higher watt lamps in my low voltage bathroom lighting?

Posted by admin
john g asked:


I had six low voltage spot lights installed in my bathroom ceiling. The transformer sits in the loft. Each spot has a 20 watt bulb. I’d like it brighter. I saw 35w and 50 w lamps available, but would it be safe to install these?
