I pretty much just want to remind everyone that if you do not see a transformer then something is wrong.

"They are not meant to be in walls".
Bob, post a picture of a transformer in a wall to end this controversy. Thanks.

I don't see any wires leading to a transformer behind a wall. I think Bob is playing make believe or assuming.

So Linus ,please show me a type halogen puck light with no transformer.
Please also tell me how I can show you a transformer that is hidden behind a wall without destructive testing or removing plates and receptacles.

If it is not found then the seller should give info as to location.

Seller is obligated to give information?

Would you just let it slide? Do you check for location?

The purpose of this thread is to make (all) Inspectors aware that the Trans should be located .
Why the hard time Linus?
This is why so many threads are political , religious or just venomous in general.
People are actually discouraged from posting helpful information and fewer Inspectors are bothering to post actual Inspection related information for that very reason.
Be cool

Sorry I asked a question. If the transformer was behind a wall it would show up with IR. I don't see this lighting much.

I'm not stating that it is to code, i'm simply saying that it gets done that way, and that code inspectors have either not caught on, looked the other way or didn't find it to be a problem. I do not find it to be an acceptable practice knowing what I know now, even though I have done it in the past
