12v transformer loading

I recently had a 12v transformer die due to hungry mices -
mices have now left the building and I want to replace the transformer but
I see it has 3 x spot lights running from it. Is this correct or should I have
a transformer for each spot light?

Cheers

replacing consumer unit

I know its not quite diy but how much would I look to spend on a qualified person replacing
my current unit?
The current one is fuse wire plug in modules, I have replaced some with mini pcb's but
have had problems sourcing some of them.
