I changed two controllers/transformers earlier for a friend. I was there to do six. I connected the first two and well, they blew up .

Bugger! I would never have considered opening the device to check the internal connection before hooking it up. Ouch. You had a word with the supplier?

The lady that purchased them made a complaint straight away on Saturday morning. I messaged her yesterday to confess that it was possibly and partially my mistake. She said not to worry as she considers them a fire risk anyway. I asked her to keep them so I could have another look but she's thrown them in the bin. Off to Bunnings for her next.
