Halogen Pendant Advice

[chillrich]

Hey Guys, not garage related but your help would gain me more time in the garage
We have a chandelier with 25 x 20W halogen bulbs in a tall entrance. Due to the height I prefer to only take this this apart once, it is going to require some rigging.

Details;
25 pendants hanging which are 20W halogen bulbs
Both switches are working
Fuse at fixture was blown, replaced and the light still does not illuminate

I think the fault is with the 110v/12v transformer, open secondary(?) but this amount of bulbs would take at least 500W transformer which are proving hard to find.

Can I purchase 2 - 300W transformers and parallel them together? Not really interested in LED conversion.

Thanks in advance.

Change it to LED lamps.

Needs to be dimmable.

What rating is the present transformer ?

I was trying to avoid dropping the fixture to check as it is 16 1/2' above floor level and partially over a staircase, much scaffolding/rigging involved. It seems that it is common practice use multiple transformers which share the load but it seems unlikely that multiple transformers would fail at the same time?
