Halogen Light Bulb Ban September 2021 On 9th June 2021, the UK government made a press release about the forthcoming Halogen light bulb ban. My question is – I would think I need to leave the low voltage dimmer instead of switching it to an LED dimmer. The range offers warm and cool light temperatures, depending on the desired atmosphere, as well as a variety of wattage options to suit every need.

Fortunately, upgrading Halogen MR16 light bulbs to LED is usually a painless affair, as most LED light bulbs are now designed to retrofit to existing light fittings. For both tungsten, halogen and fluorescent technologies, the wattage is directly related to it’s brightness, so when we state an equivalent wattage, then yes, we are saying this bulb is a bright as an old ? Multi-Volt circuits are designed to ensure a consistent output voltage, this ensures the LEDs will illuminate safely and reliably within an input range from 10 to 30 volts DC.This depends on the minimum load of the transformer, and whether it is low enough to power a 5W LED. I have a 150w 82v mr13 halogen bulb that I would like to replace with an LED but cannot find one anywhere. Also I presume a reasonably competent (non-qualified) person can do this (taking appropriate precautions of course inc.

Norman is correct – the transformer in the fireplace is not designed to work with LED’s – many transformers need a minimum load to work, such as 50W, which is fine when you have two 28W halogen light bulbs installed.Hi Will, the most likely source of the issue will be a compatibility problem with the 12V transformer that resides in your fitting. Bulbs that operate on a lower voltage than 230-240V must be used with a compatible transformer when installing on UK mains circuits. We carry a large range of 12 Volt DC G4 LED replacements for caravans, motor homes and RV's in both disc or bulb configuration to replace 12 Volt CD G4 Pin Type Halogen globes up to 20 Watts.

Moreover, the average life of a G4 LED capsuleis 30000 hours, which is ten times more than the halogen bulb.

You may run into problems with this transformer, as it is designed for use with Halogen light bulbs and therefore has a wattage range of 20W to 60W. This guide will tell you everything you need to know about replacing Halogen MR16 bulbs with LED bulbs. If the transformer is designed for use with 50W halogen type bulbs, then it may not be rated to work on lower powered lightbulbs. Most of the G4 LEDs operate on DC voltage, so they need a different power supply or transformer to operate.
