No wonder so many people report that the LEDs break after some time: The Original Transformer simply delivers the wrong voltage - 29.5 volts AC! This voltage and the AC is able to force each LED after a short time in the knees! I have these replaced by an ordinary 24 Volt LED transformer for almost 20 euros. Thus, the LEDs are now operated at a constant voltage and no longer flicker. As a side effect the chain lights long is no longer so bright and pungent as also criticized by some customers!
- Light chain is completely twisted after unwinding! - Transformer does not fit to the LEDs - Luminous paint is a whitish yellow with a very slight greenish tint
Conclusion: Disconnect the really useless original transformer and use a good LED transformer with exactly 24 Volt DC output! Value for money enough!
