Product Information

Hi Rakesh, So that specific transformer is rated to work between 50W and 150W – this means that the minimum load that needs to be used is 50W, and the maximum load is 150W. This spike is caused by the sudden rush of current needed to activate the LED driver and start the LEDs. Installing low voltage LED light bulbs on a transformer designed for halogen lighting requires you to find the equivalent wattage ( see above) for the LED bulbs, so as not to overload the transformer.

s. I have no idea of their wattage as there are no markings on the the bilbs other than MR16, i have replaced them with 6x 8w LED’s. In my head I was sure they would be fine as they where only drawing 4w each and I don’t understand why that would cause the transformer to fail? i’ve tried replacing my warm led spotlights with brighter led spotlights but they flash on and then go super dim. Halogen Light Bulb Ban September 2021 On 9th June 2021, the UK government made a press release about the forthcoming Halogen light bulb ban.

For example, a typical transformer may only be rated between 50W – 250W – if you install a 35W bulb then it will not draw enough power to be used on such a transformer. spotlight bulbs, but you would require two of these to be wired into your fitting to run three 5W light bulbs.

I have doubled checked that I have wired the new transformer correctly but the bulb flickers with very little light. We’ve got quite a lot of these throughout the house and if possible I’d like to avoid replacing these (due to the cost) with an LED driver equivalent. This is only getting more complicated as LED technology gets ever more energy-efficient, but as long as you remember to look for the equivalent wattage, you will find the right LED spotlights.I’m considering changing our existing spots in the house to LED which are MR16 50W halogen bulbs connected in a series of 3 to an Aurora AU-150 transformer rated 50-150VA. some contractors told me that i cannot do that and must change the whole electrical system or something like that. In September 2016, the European Commission directive banning the manufacture of ‘high-energy’ halogen spotlights came into force. It sounds like transformer in the fitting may not be suitable for LED – Some transformers are designed to run halogen spotlights and are thus rated for 50W – 250W for example.
