i installed some low voltage track lighting with the flex track and it looks awesome. the problem i am having is it goes out after about 35-45 minutes. the main unit attached to the ceiling box gets very hot. after it cools down it works again.
The directions state if something gets hot, it needs to be tightened. the cap for the main ceiling unit snugs up but doesnt sit exactly right on the threads. is this the problem or is it something else? Help!

Any loose connection will cause heat. make sure you have a screw with the proper threads. You could also have a bad unit.

One of two things bad connection or bad transformer check the low side volts.

A loose electrical connection, (high resistance), can cause overheating.
It is the electrical connections that you should check,
not the box cover.
