About this deal

Bulbs that operate on a lower voltage than 230-240V must be used with a compatible transformer when installing on UK mains circuits. The transformer converts mains voltage to a lower voltage suitable for the bulbs, ensuring they function as designed and preventing damage to the bulbs and/or light fittings. Saving money and the environment are the benefits of replacing halogen with a light emitting device. Is it worth replacing bulbs with LED?

The volt-ampere (VA) rating is the maximum load (in watts) that a transformer can safely carry. For example, a 40VA transformer can handle up to 40-watts of electrical equipment, while a 10-60VA one can carry between 10 and 60 watts worth. 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. 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?

If you’re replacing low voltage MR16 50W halogens that have low voltage 12V transformer, the first and obvious option is to replace it with something like an MR16LED. The retrofit lamps should work from your transformer. This can cause you to have to replace your transformer. Can I use 12V transformer for LED? It is possible to replace your bulbs one by one. The warm light of halogen bulbs is within reach thanks to the fact that LEDs can handle all colors of white light. What is 20w halogen equivalent to in LED? With the ban on halogen now firmly in place from 2016, there are still lots of halogen and incandescent lamps out there wasting energy and draining the earths resources. These energy hungry relics from a distant past need to get upgraded to LED. LED is 90% more efficient and lasts for 10 times longer. There are a 3 main options of upgrading from halogen to LED, choosing the right option for you depends on the type of downlights and halogen lamps you've currently got. Aurora Ice 5W GU10 - Available in dimmable and non dimmable, it has a nice wide beam angle of 60 degrees A term used to compare LED light bulbs with their incandescent alternatives. An LED light bulb with an equivalent wattage of 35W is a direct replacement for a 35W incandescent light bulb. This is different from a light bulb’s stated wattage ( see below).

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.It’s important to note that the headlights are not the same as the ones in the picture. There are a number of advantages over halogens. They consume less power, do not heat up as much, and take up less space. According to XenonPro, you can’t just replace a bulb with an assembly. Can I replace halogen downlights with LED?
