Convert to GU10s, no transformer, driver or drivel required. Much greater choice of LED lamps as well. Remove existing transformer, connect existing mains wiring to one of these: https://www.toolstation.com/spare-lampholder/p34667 which will clip onto most existing fittings where the mounting...

What do you mean by beams? I tried to light a house like that and it was a nightmare. Wall lights seemed to work well beams too low for pendent, and if recessed then beams stopped light. With a flat ceiling the main method is to reflect light from the ceiling giving a better spread, recessed...

As unbelievable as it sounds, what you have is quite normal and acceptable. Downlights are a terrible design, especially when it comes to the time when you need to remove the entire fitting and the edges of the hole begin to crumble. I really thought by now they would have designed a special...

For the GU10 you can get a little sucker to help you turn the lamp about 15° needed to remove and refit. The holder looks like this but the MR16 which is extra low voltage looks the same from the outside and these are often held in with a ring. The socket behind them looks like this and once...

problem is that loads of fittings for lights in the UK are BC type on pendant leads. This requires the lamp to be held static to push up against the springs and then twist. Thanks for the link, but I really think this product would be a waste of money. Since you mention it's for commercial...

We have the same fittings. They had a glass cover, which you were supposed to push the provided suncrion cup onto, then pull HARD to remove the light. I found that when pushing the cup on, the glass pulled away so I could get my fingers behind the bezel, and pull down. There will be a bent...

Hi all, I am struggling to work out how to replace the lightbulb above the shower. It seems to be a GU10 Spot bulb, but the problem is that I cannot get access to it. There is a clear cover in front of it that I can push up, but cannot remove. Please see the pictures below. Any help...

Thats an integrated LED fitting, there is no lamp that you can remove. Opinions on this way of doing things vary, if designed well with good thermal design and the LEDs and components in the driver not run hard, it should last a very long time, butif it does fail you have to replace the whole...

And repeating that exercise every now and then. Or remove them all, repair the holes, and install large one(s). Go on, you know you want to. Go on, go on, go on.....

Just to update anyone who maybe considering something similar, The kit i ordered works exactly as i wanted. It has perm live, switched live, neutral and earth from the switch side. Has 230v gu10 connection on the load side. LED indicator to show its connected and charging. I have it wired...

Hi I currently have 9 downlights which are 12v run on 3 separate transformers, wired up as follows I am changing the down lights to LED low voltage lights so will be converted to normal voltage GU10 lamp holders so will no longer need the transformers, Is it acceptable to remove the...

We have 3 x downlighters in our ensuite, which we have inherited with our house. The bulb appears to have blown on one of them. Having removed it from the holder, the bulb says : BRILLIANTLINE 20W12V36D (or 360?) PHILIPS K4 I've only ever dealt with GU10 downlighters, so want to check...

My bulbs are 35W MR16 12V not GU10s and the Intelligent Lighting Control system can be completely removed via the spotlight cutout holes if ever I need to in the future. My risk I take I know but kinda too late now as already purchased. By the way here is a copy of my floor plans for your...

That appears to be the case. Probably, but that doesn't mnean that they are the only options available. Indeed, and I think I suggested that. You obviously could do that, but you could also just change that one transformer/SMPSU to one that was LED-friendly. Yes, you could do that if/when there...

I have 5 GU10 lamps for my stairs/landing, I have the centre on switched at wall, the outer 4 can only be switched on/off with zigbee relay, not ideal, but works very well, and centre bulb is a smart one colour changing so can dim right down or/and change colour. Today there are so many easy...

Hi all, looking for a little advice please. Here's the backstory: I've had an ongoing issue with my kitchen lighting for a couple of months. There are 8 downlighters on a standard (not dimmer) switch, and they are MR16 bulbs. Every so often (a couple of times a week) switching on the lights...

Simple enough job to change them out, but do check new fittings are the same or larger than the hole left when the old fittings are removed. Mains powered Gu10 x 50w tend to suffer a bit and do blow every 6-12 months depending on use. 50w x 11 = 650w or a tad over 2.8A (no calculator...

The two pins, as you know, belong to the lamp. So pull them out. The (“MR16”) lamp socket will probably be damaged do you’d need a new lamp socket. HOWEVER - the halogen lamp that you are trying to replace are obsolete. You can’t buy them any more. You need to move to LED lamps...

That is because they are almost certainly NOT transformers but switch mode power supplies. But you know what to do.

Are the existing 12 volt cables 3 core? Are they rated at 240volt?
