I have five 50w lights that hang from the ceiling in our restaurant, The lights use GY6.35 12 V halogen bulbs. I can't get two of the lights to work. I have tried multiple bulbs. i tested the bulbs in the ones that work, so I know the bulbs are ok. Any ideas on what the problem is or what I should check next? Thanks

Faulty lamp sockets are common
With these types of lights due to
High heat.
You will need to replace the lamp socket.

dmx is correct, I have also had problems with those style sockets. Not sure what is available, but if you can find a good LED replacement with a light color and intensity you like they might last much longer. They didn't have LEDs when I was dealing with them.
