About this deal

MR16 LED light bulbs will function with the majority of standard low voltage MR16 LED drivers however some are typically 20~60VA which can cause problems for this lamp due to the transformer minimum load requirements not being met. Compared to halogen bulbs the LED MR16 bulbs draw a significantly smaller amount of power, therefore do not provide a sufficient load for the more traditional Halogen low wattage MR16 transformers. When considering LED retrofit options for MR16/GU5.3 halogen downlights, the buyer should factor in not only light quality but transformer compatibility as well.

The lights you've linked to look good - expensive though per light? What do people use when they wire in 'standard gu10 leds' to replace halogens - do they use a LED specific transformer? Unlike the 7W DR450 and the 10W Philips Master LEDs, the Lucci LEDlux 6W LED does not 'simulate' the loadWould it make more sense to swap these out for another 4 LED-specific transformers, or replace all 4 with a single transformer? I see a lot of support for swapping out in favour of GU10 fittings, but I'm not sure about the extra effort of running earth to each fitting, as well as any mess I might make of the ceiling when replacing them. The easiest method, in my opinion, is to abandon the old lamp holders and replace with GU10. Remove the 12v power supply and run 230v to each lamp. You may have bought or are thinking about buying some LED strip lighting or MR16 fittings or spotlights for your home. Either way you’re here to find out the whats and whys about LED drivers (or transformers). This handy guide will help you make an informed decision and give you the fundamentals you need when buying a driver. Why do I need an LED driver?

MR16 LED spotlights come in different colours too. These colours are measured in Kelvins. The lower the Kelvin, the warmer the light, the higher the Kelvin, the cooler the light. You can choose from Cool White, Warm White and Daylight colours. Where you use these colours is entirely up to you. If you want an idea, many customers use Warm White for cosy living areas, Cool White for bathrooms, while Daylight offers a happy medium. You can read more about our post on colour options here to see how they could look in your home. and a bridge rectifier composed of diodes to deliver DC to the LEDs from the AC transformer supply. Some LED lights, such as the DR450 by Brightgreen and the 10W Philips Master, The transformers' output voltage waveforms when powering a 35W Osram Halogen can be seen in the figures below. The LED drivers' are electronic DC power regulators designed specifically for DC LED lighting. They are not suitable for 12VAC (halogen or LED retrofit) lighting.The reason for describing the transformer as a ’driver’ in relation to domestic LED bulbs is that although the term ‘LED transformer’ has become a popular umbrella term for all drivers and transformers, the term ‘transformer’ should be reserved for larger LED lighting projects requiring a more powerful external supply (see below for further details). What is the difference between an LED ‘driver’ and an LED ‘transformer’? MEAN WELL Direct can also provide customised power supplies; designed to meet your specifications and requirements. The high frequency switching cycles are seen to stop and resume at irregular times within the 100 Hz wave envelope. Not entirely accurate as in greece and eastern europe you can get mr16 fitting spots that use 230v and can be replaced with mr16 230v leds.
