Thanks for the info one last question. Will I need a new transformer for the Gu10 cables or does the transformer just need removing and the mains cables connecting to the GU10 leads

I've tried to do loads of research before reaching out to this forum in the hope that someone can help. I live in a new build house that has spotlights in the living room. I am hoping to replace them with Philips Hue GU10 spotlights, but am stumbling at it. When I try to pull the light down...

Is that not what was meant?

No but is there a label visible when you remove the GU10 lamp? Damn, not fast enough!

There is no bulb. It's a sealed fitting. If you want to use Philips Hue GU10s, you will need to remove the existing lights, then buy and install new GU10 fittings that are suitable for the Hue lamps.

I would guess that is a conversion to GU10, and likely the whole lamp needs removing and the GU10 holder released so below fitting then drawn back up again, likely spring clips hold the whole light in place.

I switched MR16's to GU10 led's by removing the transformer and adding very cheap lampholders from screwfix that have held up well and were straightforward to fit: Luceco GU10 / GZ10 Lampholder | Light Fittings | Screwfix.com Blup

Indeed. I think this discussion is getting a bit confused. Yes, I think that the OP currently has 12V GU10s (with transformers) but wishes to remove the transformers and use 230V GU10s instead. This is why the issue about earthing has arisen - the fittings intended for 12V had no provision for...

I assume that your existing halogen bulbs are 12v. If you want to use 230v GU10 LED bulbs you will need to pull the transformer out and remove it. If you don't want to remove the transformers, you will need a low voltage GU10 bulb. https://bedazzledledlighting.co.uk/product/gu10-21-led/ You...

Incidentally, is there any reason that I cannot change the cable from MR16 to GU10 (removing the transformer obviously) or are the light fittings different? 50W MR16s presumably produce a similar heat release to 50W GU10s? (I want to use CFLs anyway)

Hi all, We have some light fittings recessed into the patio / drive. They take GU10 LED lamps. The front is held on with 3mm cap head screws. Two of the three screws in this one have failed and I've managed to strip them. Any suggestions on getting them out? I looked at a screw removal...

Ignore the pedant. He isn’t helping you in any way (as usual). You do not need an electrician. Just get a bunch of GU10 lamp bases. Remove the transformers and connect the 230v cabling to the lamp holders. Fit GU10 LED lamps. Simples

I removed the CFL 11W GU10 bulb but found I cannot replace with the normal GU10 25W as the 25w bulb is shorter and a piece of metal obstructs me from pushing it deeper so the downlighters must be GU10 11w's only. My only choice now will be a window or replace the 4 downlighter units. I think...

hi first time post and your help would be appreciated I have 3 dimmable circuits in kitchen/utility room with mr16 halogen. Historically too many blown bulbs, transformer overheats etc. Decided to try LED on one circuit. Visited local electric shop for advice. Very helpful. Recommendation was...

Or remove trany and convert to 230V GU10 lampholder

MR16 refers to the type and size of the glass - Multifaceted Reflector x eighths of inch. GU10 refers to the connector pins. So, no you cannot swap MR16 for GU10. Your confusion is understandable as manufacturers do not know either. Yours will likely have GU 5.3 (mm.) pins. You...

HI All I have just had a small barn conversion done - single floor by a reputable builder etc. Anyway all of the lighting is recessed fitting, halogen GU10 spotlamps with standard 50w bulbs. one in the hallway has just blown and on removing it i noticed it has burnt the wooden ceiling...

Remove the existing light fittings along with their transformers. Obtain new GU10 lights and connect them to the 230V wiring that previously connected to the input of the transformers.

GU10 mains voltage lamps fit in MR16 lamp holders. The (electrical) socket does not fit, but these can be changed and the transformer removed from the circuit

GU10 lamps. Curious as to what removing the bulbs will do? I think it may be a neutral issue, but it does not appear that the neutral is being switched somehow
