Freaked me out man!In the end I was told the transformer is very fragile & easily spoilt.I have changed all to LED T5, very good so far! hehe..My major overhaul costs me 70K which includes everything, even aircons, heaters, all sanitary wares etc..What's not included are just furnitures.Stairs glass I would suggest using lamiglass instead of tempered.Safer.
