I built a circuit that would run a light for a local water treatment plant that looks down into the floc tank. Anyway, it works great but after about a week the transformer burned.
It's never on for more than 30 min intervals and it also gets rather hot (almost too hot to touch). I'd love to here what you have to say about it, or how I can make it better. Oh, and the light is recommended for 15VDC, 3A, as you can see in the circuit I have it running at a little higher voltage than that; but that's not a problem for the light. The specific light is used often at around 30V.
