Can You Mix ‘n Match Transformers With LED Lights?
In the absence of the original though you can sometimes deduce the required amperes if the total wattage of the lights is known (just divide watts by 12).
Where regular domestic 12v led lighting is concerned though, then even if you do know the total load you should still really invest in a low-load constant voltage transformer (often sold as an "LED driver") to be on the safe side. Most standard 12v transformers are built with the assumption that 12 volts plus or minus 1 volt is well within the tolerances for incandescent light bulbs, but it's not going do any favours for LED light bulbs. ... What To Look For When Buying LED Spotlights
ant to consider replacing existing low voltage lighting with mains powered GU10 LED bulbs since (unlike incandescent lighting where the higher current on low voltage systems creates brighter light) there is very little visible difference between mains powered and 12v led lights. The LED light bulbs themselves already contain an integral driver so there is not really anything much to be gained using low voltage MR16 LED lamps apart from added complexity.
You can find more information in this LED buying guide which also looks specifically at the issue of LED dimmers - this being something of a ... Solar Garden Lighting
The second most obvious advantage of solar powered garden lights is no electricity costs. Solar power is free, so solar outdoor lights cost absolutely nothing to run. Coupled with this point is that the LED lights now commonly found in 12v led garden lighting products often have an effective lifetime of tens of thousands of hours, so outdoor solar lighting requires almost no maintenance.
Not only are solar garden lights very easy to install, cheap ... Introducing LED Kitchen Lighting
Simply replace existing halogen spotlights and under-cabinet lighting with equivalent LED light fittings. This is pretty much a matter of replacing existing 12v transformers with one (or more, depending on the number of lights involved) constant voltage 12v led driver and then swapping out the halogen lamps for LED equivalents. If using mains voltage lighting this is even easier as all that is required is to ... Replacing Halogen Lamps With LED Spotlights
A quick trip to any good lighting store and ten minutes replacing bulbs is all it takes to install mains or 12v led kitchen lighting that is equivalent in brightness to old 35w halogen lamps; and in an area such as a kitchen that typically gets a lot of use in most homes, that can add up to significant electricity savings just by itself. ...
