I have build a Cobrapin homebrew pinball machine. For my General Illumination I needed a transformer that could provide me the 8VAC to power my lamps.
I found a doorbell transformer that appear to provide the voltage that I need (it actually give me the option of 8 VAC, 16 VAC and 24 VAC.)

I wired up the transformer and it work fine.
After a few mins of being on I noticed the transformer was very warm.
I'm 100% certain the wiring is correct but the heat of the transform concerns me.
Is this something I should be concerned about or is there a better alternative transformer available that will provide me the 8VAC that I need.
