Always assuming that the luminaire is safe at that voltage, and has been tested by the manufacturer to prove that it is. If you couldn't buy them, modify them and sell them as 230V items then you cannot tell people to modify them themselves.

Mr16 has nothing to do with the lampholder thats the lamp size If its 12 volt its usually a G5.3 which is a lampholder with 2 holes 5.3mm apart then it will be connected to a tranformer If 240 volt often a GU10 lampholder then its connected to mains voltage Either way there is...

Hi, I have R50 SES downlights fitted in my kitchen, hallway and living room with halogen bulbs Ive tried fitting replacing the halogen with SES R50 LEDs in them but some just wont screw in properly! ive decided to replace all the fittings with the modern GU10 fittings as the LEDs for them...

Hi I was wondering if anyone could help. When we moved into our house it was full of high watt spotlights. I have systematically changed these for GU10 LED bulbs. Across the house I have removed the transformers for individual 12V bulbs and replaced with mains voltage GU10 light holders. When i...

Yes likely more than one transformer, could be one for each lamp! lots of lamps are now energy efficient and have a lower output rating but 50W are still available should not cause a problem, but you will need to check the minimum output of the transformers. Removing the transformers is an...

Hi, I've got a conundrum and I'm looking for some help. In my kitchen I have some accent lighting - this consists of 2 x GU10 bulbs in some glass cabinets and 3 of these kind of strip lights under the upper cupboards - all 5 lights are controlled, simple off-on, by a 1-way switch that's part...

It's pretty unlikely that the LEDs will cause the transformers to 'fail', but it's possible that they may not work your LEDs satisfactorily. Ones that are working satisfactorily now will probably continue to work satisfactorily. Even if you do have to change (some, or even all of) the...

Those are integrated affairs, which means when they fail, the whole lot has to be replaced creating as much e-waste as possible. The colour of light is determined by the LED module itself (the yellow square in the centre). The connector is irrelevant - those lights are 230V AC input, so that...

Whssign by Taylortwocities posted 16 Jul 2016 at 12:13 PM Simply remove the 12v power supply. And use 230v LEDs. You'll probably need to change the lamp connector to another type (GU10). And, yes, the dimmer will need changing to a low-load type that is compatible with the LED lights. And, yes...

I have bought Bathroom rated GU10 mains voltage downlighters to replace the mr16 low voltage downlighters. Is replacing them as easy as this: 1:Remove current LV downlighter unit and transformer by disconnecting from junction box 2:Wire new Mains voltage downlighter unit directly to...

Afternoon guys, Tried to change the bulbs in my bathroom and made a pigs ear out of it! The bulbs are behind the glass fitting so I have to remove the cover first, am I supposed to just un screw that ?? I found myself jamming a screwdriver behind it till it came out so I could grip it and...

AS has been said and I think its the perfect option. Remove the 3 working ones and replace all 4 with separately removable GU10 bulb units so all 4 will match in that room and you will then have 3 spares to replace any others in the house for a good match in those rooms.

That is the plan, however i have managed to stop the buzzing by placing 1 x old 20w halogen back into it.

You want a lamp sucker, http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/GURS.html. Depending on lamp type, it could be a quater turn for GU10 or a direct pull out if MR16. Edit: Looking at your picture the glass lens could either require a twist to release it, or could be sprung fixed and requires...

Evening all, I'm a bit behind in the world of LED lighting as before having a baby earlier this year, we didn't really use the main lights very often. However, the existing halogen spotlights are now getting a lot more use (and some of the transformers have died) so I think it's time to look...

You shouldn't normally have to remove the fitting from the ceiling to replace lamps. If there are covers over the fittings they should unscrew or pull off. GU10 lamps can be tricky to remove without the little rubber sucker. If the fittings are 12 volt the fittings will be pulled out to...

I was asked to provide an estimate for a ground floor extension/garage conversion + kitchen refurb: Kitchen: Supp. & install: 8 x firerated cast GU10 downlights (6 main kitchen, 2 extension) approx 4 New socket outlets where required; Switched spurs for extraction fan & hob ignition, washer...

Just to clarify... You don't mean that I have to lay new wires, correct? It should be as simple as removing the transformers and connect the new GU10 lampholders instead. A simple swap... with no other modification... Or am I wrong?

You can buy wide angle lamps, such as these 50 degree lamps - whether it will make enough of a difference is anyones guess, as 50 degrees * 3 is still not 360! However, it may be worth a punt if there's any possibility it could save the hassle of removing and returning the fitting.

Ok so I am old and forgetful, but here is the problem, I had a bulb blow in one of my landing lights. It is an E27 ( Edison thread) holder. When removing the bulb the glass came away from the threaded connector. So I isolated the circuit at the CP and tried to remove the offending bulb base...
