How To Fit Kitchen Down Lights
The thing is that all LED light bulbs are inherently low voltage; it's just that the "mains" powered ones are designed with an integral led driver (transformer), thereby saving you the trouble of figuring out the correct type of transformer for LED light bulbs. Not that you cannot opt for separate 12v transformer(s) and low voltage LED lights if you want to (for some situations, boats and caravans being obvious examples, you only have ... Still Using Halogen Lamps? Are You Mad?
On the subject of 12v lighting, you *can* replace existing 12v MR16 halogen lamps with LED versions but you will almost certainly have to additionally replace your low voltage transformers with led drivers (basically better quality constant voltage, low load transformers) to avoid frying your new bulbs. You will also discover that the qualitative differences between mains and low voltage that exist with incandescent bulbs don't apply to LEDs, so a better ... What To Look For When Buying LED Spotlights
To replace mains powered halogen spot lamps you need to be looking at LED GU10 format lamps, whereas for low voltage systems you want MR16 LED spot lights (and you will also have to replace the existing step-down transformers with much more precise versions called led drivers).
In fact, you may want 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 ... 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 remove existing GU10 ... Replacing Halogen Lamps With LED Spotlights
ar dimmer units and 12 volt light transformers require a minimum load and unless you are driving a lot of 12v LED spot lights there won't be sufficient load and you will need to replace existing transformers and dimmers with special 12v constant voltage led drivers (as LED transformers are termed) and LED dimmer switches if dimmability is an issue.
A typical unregulated 12 volt transformer is designed to push out 12v when attached to a “normal” load such as 6 x 25w; if you decrease the load down to the tiny amounts that LEDs soak up, the output voltage is likely to increase. This can easily and rapidly lead to premature failure of your expensive ...
