Down Lights in large-sized areas, Triple Cluster Fitting, Quad Cluster Fitting, 2 or more Awning Lights with G4 plugs or Converters.
It is possible to switch these for LEDs without changing any of the parts. If the bulb has 2 pins that push into the fitting, it’s probably a low voltage MR11 or MR16 bulb. If you want to use these bulbs in place of a halogen bulb, you need to use a transformer. Are halogen bulbs being phased out? The number 4 in the name indicates the center-to-center distance between two pins, which is 4mm in this type.I guess an alternative would be to fit new GU10 lamp holders with LED bulbs and ditch the transformers. Do you think thy is would be a better approach?
Spotlights are ‘directional’ bulbs that emit light in a focused beam. Halogen spotlights are a form of incandescent light bulb that use a tungsten filament and a mix of inert and halogen gases to produce light. The European Commission directive in September 2016 banned the manufacture of this type of power-hungry spotlights.Anyone know the answer to this ?……My lights are 12 volt……20 Watt max…….Halogen…With transformer….. There are 4 lights…… 20w bulb in each one……MR16….GU5.3…. 50mm wide by 45mm depth For example, if you have one 35W halogen installed in your kitchen, ensure you swap it for 35W equivalent LED. The actual wattage of the LED light bulb may vary, but the equivalent wattage must be the same as your current halogen light bulbs. For example, you might find both 5W and 6W LED light bulbs that have an equivalent wattage of 35W; both of these would be fine to replace 35W halogen light bulbs.”
I have a 150w 82v mr13 halogen bulb that I would like to replace with an LED but cannot find one anywhere. I am having a very hard time even finding a 150w equivalent LED bulb of any kind. Any help would be greatly appreciated. See also What is the LED equivalent of a 250 watt bulb? Can I swap halogen headlight bulbs for LED? If you have low voltage halogen light bulbs installed with a transformer, the first thing you need to do before replacing Halogen MR16 light bulbs with MR16 LED bulbs is to find the transformer’s maximum load. You should be able to find this on the body of the transformer itself, in the form of a ‘VA’ number. This VA number will either be fixed, or it will be a range (e.g. 10-60VA).Also I presume a reasonably competent (non-qualified) person can do this (taking appropriate precautions of course inc. turning off the mains supply). FAQ about 12V transformer and light emitting device compatibility. The cost of efficiency and extra power consumption are explored in the FAQ article. The ‘LED drivers’ are designed for DC light. What is the difference between halogen and LED?
